Maundy Thursday, Maundy Thursday (Remembrance of the Last Supper) congratulate →

Easter is the most important holiday for Christians. According to legend, on this day Jesus Christ, the son of God, rose from the dead. However, before this holiday it is worth observing Lent. An important part of Lent is the last (Holy) week, on each day of which stories from the worldly life of the Savior are mentioned in churches. The fourth day of Holy Week is called Maundy (Maundy) Thursday. It was on this day that Jesus and his twelve disciples gathered for the Last Supper. To show the brothers an example of humility and love for one's neighbor, the son of God washed the stupas of his disciples. At the meal, he predicted the betrayal of one of those present, who in reality was Judas Iscariot. That evening the Savior demonstrated the ritual of communion called the Eucharist. Nowadays, on Maundy Thursday, churches hold services dedicated to the day. Believers go there, attend a prayer service, and then perform repentance and communion. By drinking wine and bread, symbolically reminiscent of the blood and flesh of the Messiah, Christians undergo a ritual of union with God. They come home from church with a burning candle in a lamp, which brings protection to the whole family. If believers receive cleansing of the soul through communion and confession, then cleansing of the body occurs through water procedures. On Maundy Thursday, you should take a shower before dawn, reading a prayer, and wash yourself with silvered water. It is believed that this ritual will not only bring health and well-being, but will also help get rid of everyday fatigue and current illnesses. It is also worth cleaning your home through cleaning. First, they begin by wiping the icons, then they wash the walls, windows, floors and other parts of the house, and then start washing. On this date, it is customary to get rid of old unnecessary things. Housewives are busy baking holiday cakes and coloring eggs. It is important to have time to redo all your homework before the end of the day so that everything is clean before Easter.
