Category:Holy Thursday

Holy Thursday is the Thursday before Easter Sunday. It is the day the Last Supper was celebrated in the Upper Room (the Cenacle). During the Last Supper, the Apostles' feet were washed by Jesus followed by the institution of the Holy Eucharist, during which Judas Iscariot left to betray Jesus. After the Last Supper, Jesus took the remaining eleven disciples to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray. Judas Iscariot returned and gave Jesus a kiss, which signified to those he was with to arrest Jesus. Later, Judas returned the 30 pieces of silver realizing he had done wrong, but it was not accepted. Jesus was put on trial in front of the Sanhedrin. Saint Peter denied Jesus.
