The Liturgy of Maundy Thursday and Watch

“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.” John 13:34

At this service we remember the Last Supper, when Jesus celebrated the Passover meal with his disciples before being betrayed and arrested. During the meal, Jesus took and blessed bread and wine and shared them with his disciples, calling the bread and wine his body and blood. He urged the disciples to do the same after his death in memory of him, which Christians have done ever since at Holy Communion.

The service will be followed by 'The Watch' when we pray in the Lady Chapel as Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane. This will end at 10.00pm, but all are welcome to stay for as much time as they are able.

No booking is required and we look forward to welcoming you.
