Maundy Thursday

for 1 hour
St Peters Church Monks Eleigh
Church Hill Monks Eleigh Ipwich, IP7 7LG, United Kingdom

Maundy Thursday marks the night of the Last Supper as told in the `Bible. Maundy is named after the Latin word 'mandate' meaning command or mandate. It refers to the new commandment Jesus gave his disciples at the Last Supper - "Love one another as I have loved you" immediately after washing their feet. There will be an opportunity to have your feet washed by our Incumbent during this service though this is not obligatory. It can be quite meaningful.
At the end of this service the Altar will be cleared and stripped bare in preparation for the following day which is Good Friday, the day Jesus died on the cross.
This service will take place at St Peters Monks Eleigh at 6pm.
