The institution of the Eucharist as the central rite of the church, and Jesus' commandment that his disciples "love one another". The latin for "commandment" is "mandatum" from which the name "Maundy" Thursday is derived.

On Holy Thursday, there is a special Mass in Cathedral Churches attended by as many priests of the diocese as possible. It is a solemn observance of Christ's institution of the priesthood. At this 'Chrism Mass' the bishop blesses the Oil of Chrism used for Baptism and Confirmation throughout the year.
