Today the Christians around the world that follow the Gregorian Calendar commemorate the Maundy Thursday, better known as Holy Thursday remembering the day when Jesus Christ was betrayed by Judas after the Last Supper in which He mandated his disciples to love one another and washed their feet as a sign of love.

On Holy Thursday, April 5, the major services of Holy Week began in the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin of the Armenian Apostolic Church in Armenia.
