The Mass of the Lord's Supper takes place on the evening of Thursday, April 17, at St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, marking the beginning of the Easter Triduum.
This three-day period traces the final moments of Jesus' life, his crucifixion, and resurrection.
As part of Maundy Thursday, the liturgy remembers the Last Supper and highlights the institution of the Eucharist, the priesthood, and the call of Jesus to serve others, symbolised by the washing of feet.
The altar is stripped, candles are extinguished, and the tabernacle remains empty to reflect the absence of Christ.
Pope Francis is not expected to attend the mass due to recent health issues.
