This year, Holy Thursday was celebrated on Thursday, April 17. Across the Diocese of Youngstown,parishes celebrated The Mass of the Lord’s Supper, which was the start the three-day liturgy of the Triduum.
The Mass always includes three special moments: the reception of the oils blessed at the Chrism Mass; the washing of feet; and the transfer of the Blessed Sacrament and stripping of the sanctuary. This Mass commemorates Christ’s giving of himself to us—His Body and Blood in the form of bread and wine. It reminds us that we are part of the Body of Christ every time we receive His Body and Blood.
