Maundy Thursday Shadow Sketches
As part of a Service of Shadows for Maundy Thursday April 2, 2026, these sketches were drawn as each “shadow” of Christ’s final hours were read. I had a general idea before hand but for the most part each came together more or less spontaneously during the reading. I used a large flip chart in front of the congregation. As each candle was blown out, I flipped to a new page and once the reading began, started a new sketch. We then created a kind of gallery of the finished shadow sketches in the church.

While there’s still some time left in the day, I wanted to wish a happy #MaundyThursday to those celebrating. Even with my extensive Catholic education, I was unfamiliar with Maundy Thursday until well past school years. At the time it was called Holy Thursday.

Mandé
A #poetry threadi.
An evening meal with an old friend
who told us he’d cross a stony bridge,
its span a trial, then he’d descend
to wade into black waters’ edge.Upon the table stripped and bare,
a bowl of dried roses, grey as stone.
The meal that we'd been served was spare:
a loaf, thinned wine, a candle blown.🧵👇🏼

After Jesus was arrested, he was taken to the Jewish authorities for a trial (but not a very legal one...) #MaundyThursday #HolyThursday #GoodFriday https://www.whyeaster.com/story/accusations

After the meal, Jesus and some of his friends went to a local garden. It was there that one of Jesus's friends betrayed him and Jesus was arrested. #MaundyThursday #HolyThursday https://www.whyeaster.com/story/garden

Maundy Night, in Fragments
It was night already—
#basinAndTowel #Betrayal #breadAndCup #candlelight #ChristianSymbolism #churchArt #Communion #contemplativeFaith #FootWashing #Gethsemane #HolyThursday #holyWeek #Judas #lastSupper #LiturgicalArt #maundyThursday #passionOfChrist #sacredStillLife #servantLove #SilverCoins #symbolicPhotography #Tenebrae
and the room was close,
low-beamed, breath-warmed,
troubled by the nearness of departure.
The lamp did not so much shine
as shudder.
There are nights
that seem to know.
The basin waited.
The towel waited.
The water, in its shallow little vessel,
held a silence deeper than the sea.
And He—
O strange reversal!—
He whose hands had lifted dust to life,
whose fingers had written mercy
upon the infirm flesh of the world,
stooped.
Stooped.
I cannot loose myself
from that word.
For there are stoopings more terrible than thunder.
There are bendings low
that break the spine of pride
more surely than the sword breaks bone.
And one by one—
sandaled, ashamed, confused—
they drew near Him.
The feet of fishermen,
the feet of zealots,
the feet that had wandered,
the feet still crusted with the stale earth
of empire and fatigue.
And He washed them.
Not as a servant washes, perhaps—
hurriedly, dutifully, with half-averted eye—
but with that unbearable tenderness
which makes the beloved wish to flee.
For who can bear
to be known at the heel,
at the dustiest place,
at the place where the road clings?
Peter recoiled, of course—
dear violent Peter—
as men recoil from love
when it approaches too nearly
the wound.
“No—”
Ah, but all our souls are fashioned of that syllable.
No, not there.
No, not this filth.
No, not the part of me
that has walked where I ought not.
Yet still the water spoke
in its soft and ruinous language.
If I wash thee not—
And then the air itself seemed to splinter,
for one may resist majesty,
but to be excluded from such sorrowful intimacy—
that is a horror no disciple can endure.
So the feet were given.
So the heart, for a moment, trembled open.
And somewhere in the room
sat the other one.
He too had feet.
He too received bread.
He too was near enough
to hear the pulse in the Master’s throat,
to see the shadows gather
beneath His eyes
like birds before a storm.
How dreadful,
that one may sit so near the Holy
and yet prefer the kiss of silver.
Thirty pieces—
thin moons of metal,
cold as the underside of a grave-stone,
small little hosts of another kingdom.
I think they rang already
in the secret chambers of his mind.
The bread was broken.
No—more than broken.
Offered.
Which is the crueler word.
Take, eat—
And all the centuries leaned inward.
The cup passed.
Darkness trembled in it
like an omen,
like a red remembering,
like the heart’s own interior
made visible.
Drink ye all—
All.
Even now the word accuses me.
For the table was long,
and the shadows longer,
and love, longest of all,
stretching even toward betrayal,
even toward denial,
even toward scattering.
Outside, the city breathed
with the heavy lungs of feast and politics.
Inside, eternity had knelt upon the floor
and wrapped itself in linen.
What church can bear this memory?
What soul can keep it
without cracking?
The clink of cup.
The rustle of garment.
A hand withdrawing too quickly.
A glance no one could quite endure.
And beneath all things,
like a distant drumbeat under the earth:
going,
going,
going.
To the garden.
To the dark.
To the lanterns and the cudgels.
To the mouths of false witnesses.
To the rooster’s cry.
To the nails.
To the forsakenness immense and measureless.
Yet here—
here first—
before the torches,
before the thorns,
before the torn veil and the opened side—
here was the kingdom:
A basin.
A towel.
Bread in broken hands.
A cup not refused.
Love stooping lower
than any disciple could imagine,
lower perhaps than hell itself,
that it might fill even the lowest place
with the rumor of God.
And I, remembering it,
can scarcely speak except in shards.
A splash of water.
A morsel of bread.
A traitor’s mouth.
A beloved breast leaning near.
The night at the window, listening.
The floorboards aching under the tread of doom.
And Christ—
dear Christ—
moving among them still
with the calm of One
who has already entered death
and found it, too,
washable.
Then out they went.
Into olives.
Into moon-pallor.
Into that hour which still has not ended.
And the towel lay folded.
And the basin held
the last disturbed water.
And somewhere, perhaps,
one drop remained upon the floor—
bright, unnoticed,
like a tear
or like the first small glimmer
of the strange and terrible mercy
by which the world
shall yet be undone. -
This evening Christians remember the 'last supper', the meal that Jesus had with his friends before he was arrested. https://www.whyeaster.com/story/supper #MaundyThursday #HolyThursday

Big Bike ⚪🚲 was out with the Big Bros on #MaundyThursday. 😄
We met up outside our church around 6AM. I got home past 1PM.😵💫 'Twas a good time. 😎
The idea was to do a #Christian version of the #Filipino #Catholic #BisitaIglesia. Not sure if it's just a Filipino thing or if it even counts as tradition 🤔 but people do it here. It's basically #church-hopping. Instead of Catholic churches, we visited contemporary Christian churches. The goal was 7. We did 16. 😂!

#MaundyThursday seems like a good day to reflect on the reason #JDVance dug up an abstruse patristic term like #OrdoAmoris to justify the cruelty of #Republican #Deportation of #Immigrants:
When a #FundieNutjob can't find a Scripture to cherrypick, they get desperate 🙄
This #Episcopalian listens to a Teacher Who challenges me to "Love one another AS I HAVE LOVED YOU" ☦😳☦
He calls it a Commandment, y'all

Two of our most beloved people are joining us at church tonight for #MaundyThursday, my favorite day of the liturgical year. Really really grateful for this.

For those who would like a Second Temple Judaism cultural context for the structure and meaning of the Last Supper, I highly recommend the first hundred or so pages of “The Shape of the Liturgy” by Dom Gregory Dix. #MaundyThursday

Today is Maundy Thursday. It's a Thursday, but it's also a Monday. It's the only day of the year that's two days of the week at the same time.
Does Garfield hate Maundys too?

The Last Supper took place on Holy Thursday.
The most famous depiction was painted by Leonardo da Vinci. It was complete in 1498 after three years of work. It measures 23 feet x 29 feet.
The mural is in the Santa Maria delle Grazie Church, Milan, Italy.

On #MaundyThursday #TheDisciplesWay is reflecting on #TheLordsSupper (Matthew 26:26-29) Rev. Troy Menendez shares a few of the wonder-full #HolyCommunion experiences he has had & I admit, I envy him these experiences. My own have been far more pedestrian & quiet, quite probably because they have all been part of regular #Episcopal worship services.
Both share characteristics with the #LastSupper Matthew describes, particularly in that they occur in community of shared faith. The disciples must have felt something significant was afoot, as Rev. Menendez’ community seems to. At the same time, with the exception of Jesus’ words, it was just another meal like those celebrated weekly in my churches. This week, especially, we know what momentous changes are coming for the disciples. That is not usually the case when someone dies. Those gathered with Jesus could not have known what lay ahead for them anymore than we do today. We just trust in God that we will be together again.
