Holy Thursday

Notice Judas' atrocious table manners. A remarkable lunge.

Holy Thursday is almost my favorite part of Eastertide because it is my favorite Mass of the entire year. Not because of the washing of the feet, or the cute little first communicants processing around, or even the silent reverence in front of the Altar of Repose. It's a combination of the music and the fact that it is all so centered around the Holy Eucharist. It's one of two times a year that I receive the Precious Blood (the other being Corpus Christi).

Plus the possibility that it may be a Dominican Rite.
