Christians across Goa and the World observed Maundy Thursday with reverence and devotion, marking the beginning of the sacred Easter Triduum. The day commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with His disciples, and is symbolic of humility, service, and sacrifice.
Special masses were held in churches and chapels across the state, where priests reenacted the Washing of the Feet, reflecting Jesus’ message of servant leadership and love. The faithful gathered in large numbers, participating in the liturgy with prayerful silence and deep reflection.
Maundy Thursday also serves as a moment to reflect on the institution of the Holy Eucharist and Priesthood, central elements of the Catholic faith.
The spiritual observance continues with Good Friday and Easter Sunday, as the Christian community prepares to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ.
