Holy Thursday Preparation

The feast of Maundy (or Holy) Thursday solemnly commemorates the institution of the Eucharist and is the oldest of the observances peculiar to Holy Week. Holy Thursday was taken up with a succession of ceremonies of a joyful character. the baptism of neophytes, the reconciliation of penitents, the consecration of the holy oils, the washing of the feet, and commemoration of the Blessed Eucharist. Deacon Harold goes deeper into our prep for tomorrow's Holy Day and into the Soulful Psalms with Psalm 88.
