Maundy Thursday Service at St. Paul's Oakland

The Last Supper and New Commandment.

The Thursday in Holy Week marks the beginning of the Triduum, the sacred three days leading to Easter. The name “Maundy” comes from the Latin mandatum novum, meaning “new commandment,” recalling Jesus’ words in John 13:34:“Love one another as I have loved you.”
On this night, we commemorate the institution of the Holy Eucharist at the Last Supper. The service concludes with the stripping of the altar, a powerful symbol of Christ’s betrayal and abandonment.
The Rev. Dr. Mauricio J. Wilson, Rector.
With Choir, Organ. Benjamin Bachmann, MMus, FAGO, Music Director.
