Most Churches in our area will be open from 8:00 to 11:00 pm tonight. Plan to make visits to Repository ending with night prayer.
1 The name "Shire Thursday" is explained in "Festival" printed by Wynkyn de Worde in 1511: "Yf a man aske why Shere Thursday is called so, ye may saye that in Holy Churche it is called (Cena Domini) our Lordes Souper daye; for that day he souped with this Discyples openly; and after souper he gave them his flesshe and his blode to ete and drynke. It is also in Englysshe called Sher Thursdaye, for in olde faders dayes the people wold that daye sher there heedes, and clyppe theyr berdes, and poll theyr heedes, and so make them honest ayenst Ester Day."I'm not sure that cleared it up at all.
The Queen still washes feet on Maundy Thursday- typically two pairs for every year of her reign.
