"So, could you not watch with me one hour?” (Matt 26:40)
Come, watch and pray with Christ for an hour or more at the Cathedral, which will be open throughout the night beginning after the Maundy Thursday Liturgy (7pm) and ending at the Morning Prayer Liturgy on Good Friday (9am). While sign-up is not required, please consider committing to an hour block, on the roster, which will be in the Narthex closer to Holy Week, to ensure minimal coverage throughout the night. If signup for an hour is full, you are still welcome to come at that time.
Maundy Thursday commemorates Jesus' time with His disciples in the Upper Room, where He instituted the Last Supper and commanded His disciples to love one another, showing them an example of servant-love by washing their feet. The word Maundy comes from the Latin word mandatum, which means command, as He commanded us both to remember His death through the Supper and to love one another with a self-giving love.
