Maundy Thursday

This service begins the Triduum, the three-day period from sunset on Thursday to sunset on Easter Day. The name “Maundy Thursday” comes from the Latin mandatum novum, referring to the “new commandment” Jesus taught his disciples (John 13:34). In other words, this is “new commandment Thursday.” 

Tonight, we present a collection of music and art based on the Stations of the Cross. These “stations”, based on events leading to Jesus’ crucifixion, have been remembered for centuries, and have inspired countless works of art.
