FOR PENDANT SIZE SEE COIN DETAILS BELOW Maundy Thursday – or Holy or Good Thursday – falls each year on the day before Good Friday. Recognized throughout the Christian world, it commemorates the night before the crucifixion of Christ, when he gathered his disciples together for the Last Supper As far back as 597 AD Saint Augustine refers to the day… but the origin of Maundy Thursday traces right back to that very night Christ gathered his disciples… and gave them the Novum Mandatum – Latin for New Mandate, or as we say, New Commandment. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. John 1
