Maunday Thursday Meal

[Nelka]

If you have a large meal on Maundy Thursday becuase of the last supper, do you have it before or after the Mass?

Our Mass is at 7:30pm.

We generally eat before, since my son is an altar server. I don’t want him to be hungry during the service.

And we have a normal meal. I never thought of having something special.

Just make sure to observe the fasting time before receiving the Eucharist. With Mass at 7:30, we always ate early; otherwise it was really too late for the kids.

Same if you participate in a “Seder” meal…it can be either earlier (preferable) or later.

After the Mass is better if you are part of Euharistics.

We always have the meal before Mass, because we stay until midnight for the adoration vigil. After that, it’s Good Friday, and a fast day.
