Ever wonder what “maundy” meant? I did. Here’s the scoop ~
From The Point, BreakPoint’s* blog:

In the church calendar, the Thursday before Easter is Maundy Thursday. It’s set aside to remember the Last Supper Jesus shared with his disciples. The word “maundy” comes from the Latin word for “command.” At this supper, Jesus commanded his disciples to love and serve one another, and demonstrated it by washing their feet.

We forget for the disciples, this was Passover — when Jews remember God rescuing His people from Egypt, as described in Exodus. At this Supper, Jesus revealed Himself as the fulfillment of that event. It’s His broken body and shed blood, we are to remember.

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life for a ransom of many.” ~ Mark 10:45 ~
