Sung Eucharist Service for Maundy Thursday

for 1 hour
St Mary's, Plumtree
Church Hill Plumtree Nottingham, NG12 5ND, United Kingdom

Because Thursday night of Holy Week corresponds to the Last Supper, it includes Jesus saying, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another as I have loved you.” This is the night of that New Commandment, in other words, it is New Commandment Thursday. The word 'Maundy' is derived from 'Commandment'.
At the end of this service, the altar is stripped of linens, candles and hangings leaving bare. It is a solemn, quiet ceremony. It represents Christ being stripped for crucifixion and the desolation of the coming Good Friday.
