DESCRIPTION:The Thursday of Holy Week derives the name Maundy from the Lat
 in ‘mandatum’\, meaning commandment. In St. John’s account of the La
 st Supper\, Jesus gave his disciples a new commandment\, “that you love 
 one another as I have loved you”. \n\nThis Eucharist\, is in obedience t
 o Jesus' command to “do this in remembrance of me.”  At the end of the
  Last Supper\, Jesus and his disciples went to Gethsemane\, singing a hymn
  as they went. So also the mood of the end of this service changes from li
 ght to darkness\, from celebration to the agony of prayer\, betrayal\, arr
 est\, and trial. The church is stripped of all ornament and decoration\, a
  reminder that during this night Christ will be stripped and humiliated. T
 he church remains bare and desolate until we gather to proclaim his resurr
 ection. \n\nFinally\, in the Watch of Prayer in the Wentworth Chapel\, we 
 watch and pray with Christ\, who is present among us in the Sacrament of H
 oly Communion which is kept before us on the altar of repose in the midst 
 of a ‘garden’. As we do so\, we remember his challenge to stay awake f
 or just one hour in prayer\, and we contemplate the great privilege that w
 e have in being children of the God who endured so much for our sake.
