Today is Covenant Thursday

It’s sometimes called Holy Thursday,

also known as Sheer Thursday (as in to purge yourself of sin), Maundy Thursday, Great and Holy Thursday, and Thursday of Mysteries. Remember to wash your feet or the feet of someone else, if you are so inclined.

Among the other things going on remember: don’t go to a dinner party with 12 other people –

This evening begins the Easter Triduum, (aka Holy Triduum, Paschal Triduum, or The Three Days,) the period of three days that begins with the liturgy on the evening of Holy Thursday and ends with Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday.

Today is a big confessional day – If you are so intent on reading about my misspent youth as an altar boy, read here.
