-Did you know… the word “Maundy” comes from the Latin word mandatum, which means commandment. Thus, Maundy Thursday, commemorates the washing of the feet and the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles, as described in the canonical gospels.  

-On Good Friday at 1pm be sure to experience The Passion Of The Christ, written, produced, and directed by Mel Gibson. This epic bible drama depicts the final 12 hours before Jesus Christ’s death, known as “The Passion”. Released in 2004, The Passion begins with the agony in the Garden of Olives, continues with the betrayal by Judas Iscariot, the Scourging at the Pillar, the suffering of Mary, and the crucifixion and death of Jesus, followed by his resurrection. The film is a very vivid reminder of what Our Lord And Savior endured, and is normally broadcast around Easter time in the United States.
