Maundy Thursday is also known as Holy Thursday.
It is the first day of the LAST THREE DAYS of LENT before Easter.
This day is important for us because it tells us how the Very First Eucharistic Celebration took place.
Jesus took the bread - broke it - gave thanks to God and said ,
" Take this all of of you and eat it. This is my Body which will be given up for you" .
During Mass, the Priest celebrating mass also says the same words.
Likewise,
Jesus took His Cup - gave thanks and said, "Take this all of you and drink from it, for this is My Blood which will be shed for you in reparation of sins" .
