Holy Thursday, Mass of the Lord’s Supper | Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle | Cardinal Wuerl

Watch live as Cardinal Donald Wuerl celebrates Holy Thursday, the Mass of the Lord's Supper from the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington, D.C.

Holy Thursday commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ and starts the Triduum, which is the final three days before Easter. During this Mass, Cardinal Wuerl will wash the feet of 12 people, as Christ washed the feet of the apostles at the Last Supper. After Mass, the altar and sanctuary will be stripped of all ornamentation to prepare for Good Friday, the day Christ died on the cross. The Eucharist will be moved in solemn procession to a side chapel. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will be held until 10 p.m.
