We remember Jesus celebrating the Lord’s Supper with his disciples, his washing their feet as an example to us of serving one another, and his commandment to them to “Love one another as I have loved you.” The service includes foot washing and handwashing, the “stripping of the altar area” in remembrance of the way Jesus was stripped and humiliated by those who put him to death, washing the altar and taking the reserved Sacrament to the Altar of Repose where we place them in reserve for the Good Friday Service. We depart in silence.
