MAUNDY THURSDAY

Volume 10 · 61 words · 1797 Edition

is the Thursday in Passion week; which was called Maundy or Mandate Thursday, from the command which our Saviour gave his apostles to commemorate him in the Lord's supper, which he this day instituted; or from the new commandment which he gave them to love one another, after he had washed their feet as a token of his love to them.
