Maundy Thursday

I've always wondered what maundy meant exactly. Here's what Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, © 1996, 1998 MICRA, Inc. said.

1. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper. [Obs.]

2. The ceremony of washing the feet of the poor on Maundy Thursday.

3. The alms distributed in connection with this ceremony or on Maundy Thursday.

Note: In England, the foot washing is obsolete, but the "royal maundy" is distributed annually on behalf of the sovereign. Since 1890 this distribution has been made from Westminster Abbey.
