This holy day is associated with the Last Supper (Matthew 26:26-29), the agony in the Garden (Luke 22:39-46), and the arrest of Jesus (Matthew 26:46-50). Maundy arises from the Latin word mandatum meaning commandment. This is the first word in Christ's statement at the Last Supper, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another." (John 13:34) |
