Royal Maundy [SEP] Origins; early and medieval history
The word "Maundy" derives from the command or "mandatum" by Christ at the Last Supper, to love one another. The Gospels relate that on the eve of his Crucifixion, Jesus Christ ate a meal with his disciples. After the meal, it is recorded that Jesus washed their feet, and gave them the following "mandatum" or command: "If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done unto you." "Mandatum" is the derivation of the word "Maundy", and the Royal Maundy service evolved from Jesus' command to his disciples.
