Talk:Maundy Thursday

Split (?)

In 2005 there was apparently a page named "Chrism Mass" which became a redirect to "Chrism". I switched the redirect to here as (1) the mass is about more than just chrism, and (2) this is traditionally the day on which it is held. I have subsequently expanded the section regarding the Chrism Mass and should not wish it to appear to "overwhelm" the rest of the article. As the originally titled page remains a redirect, I cannot make the herein proposed change, (as I apparently screwed that up the last time I tried something similar). On the otherhand, if the consensus is that the material should remain here, then nevermind. (I thought about listing this under Requested Moves, but as this concerns a section only, wasn't sure if that applied.) Mannanan51 (talk) 00:31, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

I think it should be split. It's a very distinct liturgy which is separate from the celebration of Maundy Thursday. Hymnodist.2004 (talk) 04:29, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Article Title

I question the wisdom of titling the article using a name that not only is more-or-less only used in the UK but also contains a hapax legomenon — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.121.6.113 (talk) 15:50, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

You're not the first, but it's been discussed before (see the earlier discussion section on "Article Name") and was settled in a previous RfC. (Also, it's not exactly a hapax legomenon, as I understand the term. More of a fossil word.) Nitpicking polish (talk) 16:06, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Chrism Mass

If the term "Maundy Thursday" is retained for this article, then the Chrism Mass should be moved. The Chrism Mass was traditionally celebrated on this day, but the reason has nothing to do with "Maundy". --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 19:45, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Regardless of what the day is called, the Chrism Mass is still celebrated by a number of churches on this day, and remains an important part of the Holy Week observances. As far as its having "nothing to do with "Maundy", it specifically memorializes what some denominations regard as the founding of the priesthood at the Last Supper on "Maundy" Thursday. Much of the substance was moved two years ago when the Chrism Mass page was re-created (see above). The material here could stand some trimming back now, but some discussion should be retained. -Happy Maundy Thursday. Mannanan51 (talk) 16:14, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
