In the United Kingdom, the Royal Maundyservice involves the Monarch offering "alms" to deserving senior citizens – one man and one woman for each year of the sovereign's age. These coins, known as Maundy money or Royal Maundy, are distributed in red and white purses, and is a custom dating back to King Edward I. The red purse contains regular currency and is given in place of food and clothing. The white purse has money in the amount of one penny for each year of the Sovereign's age. Since 1822, rather than ordinary money, the Sovereign gives out Maundy coins, which are specially minted 1, 2, 3 and 4 penny pieces, and are legal tender. The service at which this takes place rotates around English and Welsh churches, though in 2008 it took place for the first time in Northern Ireland at Armagh Cathedral. Until the death of King James II, the Monarch would also wash the feet of the selected poor people. There is an old sketch, done from life, of Queen Elizabeth I washing people's feet on Maundy Thursday.
我的同事Josephine，她是天主教的教徒，今天晚到两小时，说是上教堂了。我问了一下，她给我推荐了几个好地方，光是看看教堂的建筑，复活节教堂的装饰设计已经很不错，她特别推荐了 Berkeley 的烛光圣火节目。
我确实也有兴趣，于是乎先上网再读复活节的一、二、三。这样的阅读已经不下三遍，今天决定去体验一把，一步一步的实体体验，希望鸡血一个。
聖週（拉丁語：Hebdomas Sancta，希臘語：Μεγ?λη Εβδομ?δα，英語：Holy Week），又稱受難週（Passion Week），在基督教傳統中，是復活節之前的一週，用來紀念耶穌受難。
下面一段是今天，周四的，我对洗脚这个环节不得要领，知道它是主对袉的12位信徒的要求，瞎跟。当时的传说容易理解，今天的洗，它的宗教意义如何界定呢。这个抄一抄，粤语版。有兴趣的自然会用自己的语言去查看。
聖週四係指耶穌受難節之前嗰一日。喺一啲宗派喺夜晚會有禮拜，當中會有洗腳禮，紀念耶穌喺最後晚餐途中起身同門徒洗腳。喺有逾越節三日慶典嘅宗派，聖週四夜晚嘅禮拜係逾越節三日慶典嘅開始
再抄一段：
