Maundy Thursday comes from the Latin meaning mandate or "commandment". It commemorate the day in which Jesus celebrates his last meal with his disciples and inaugurates the new covenant with them. Jesus will then go to the Garden of Gethsemane and ultimately be arrested, betrayed and abandoned. While Jesus eats the meal with his disciples, he makes an incredible gesture. He begins to wash their feet. When he is done, he give then a commandment that they likewise wash others feet. Jesus tells them, "by this shall everyone know that you are my disciples, that you love one another."
