Mangaluru: Scores of devotees gathered at the St. Lawrence Church in Bondel, Mangaluru on April 18, to observe the solemn feast of Maundy Thursday. This is a Christian feast observed to commemorate Jesus Christ’s last supper before his death.

During the mass, as is custom, the main celebrant of the mass washed the feet of 12 selected parishioners, emulating Jesus’ act of washing his disciple’s feet before the supper.
