Bishop Zarama will celebrate Holy Thursday Mass at Saint Mildred Parish in Swansboro, marking the end of Lent and the beginning of the sacred "Triduum,” or three, of Holy Week.
Holy Thursday celebrates the institution of the Eucharist as the true body and blood of Jesus Christ and the institution of the sacrament of the priesthood. This Mass stresses the importance Jesus puts on the humility of service and the need for cleansing with water, a symbol of baptism.
At this Mass, the bishop washes the feet of twelve priests to symbolize Christ’s washing of his twelve Apostles, our first bishops and priests.
During the Last Supper, Jesus offers himself as the Passover sacrifice, the sacrificial lamb, and teaches that every ordained priest is to follow the same sacrifice in the exact same way. Christ also bids farewell to his followers and prophesizes that one of them will betray him and hand him over to the Roman soldiers.
