Liturgy of the Last Supper

for 1 hour, 30 mins
Bristol Cathedral
College Green Bristol, BS1 5TJ, United Kingdom
All are welcome to this Choral Eucharist on Maundy Thursday, which recalls Jesus’ final night with his disciples and arrest in the garden of Gethsemane.

Maundy Thursday gets its name from the Latin word mandare meaning to command. We remember Jesus’ command: ‘Love one another as I have loved you’.

At the Last Supper Jesus washed the disciples’ feet and our service will include the symbolic ritual of foot washing. This is not only an important reminder of the nature of Jesus, who we serve, but also the kind of service we are meant to demonstrate in our love for one another.

The service is followed by the option to join us for the Night Watch which recalls how Jesus invited his apostles to stay with him while he prayed. It is extremely powerful to imagine being there with Jesus in the Garden as he prepares to sacrifice himself for our sins.
