Skírishósdag (Maundy Thursday)

Maundy Thursday, also known as Holy Thursday, is a significant Christian holiday celebrated on the Thursday before Easter. It commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with his apostles, as described in the New Testament of the Bible. During the Last Supper, Jesus instituted the Eucharist and washed the feet of his disciples, teaching them about humility and service. This event is central to Christian faith and practice, marking the establishment of the sacrament of Holy Communion.
