James II
Maundy Thursday honours the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles and is followed by Good Friday, (Christian Faith). Maundy Thursday is also known as Holy Thursday, Covenant Thursday, Great and Holy Thursday, Sheer Thursday, and Thursday of Mysteries. It is a Christian holy day that falls on the day before Good Friday.
Maundy comes from the Latin mandatum, meaning command, used in the ceremony of the washing of the feet which forms part of some church services.
According to St John's gospel, before the Last Supper Jesus washed his followers' feet to show his humility.
He then said: “A new commandment I give unto you: that you love one another as I have loved you.”
Until 1689, there was a custom of the monarch washing worshippers’ feet in Westminster Abbey.
Food and clothing would also be handed out to the poor.
Maundy money is made up of coins that have been specially minted for the occasion - they are legal tender and are highly collectable.
In a tradition dating to the 15th century, as many elderly men and women as there are years in the King's age receive the Maundy money.
