The choir which sang “When Jesus Wept” by Billings.
The altar with the statue of the last supper and the 12 candles for the service of tenebrae.
The foot-washing station with scented water and towels.
“Maundy” comes from the Latin word, mandatum, which means commandment. This is to reflect the story of Jesus giving a new commandment to his disciples on his last night with them: “Love one another as I have loved you.”
