Maundy Thursday

I've never posted a video before, so I hope you all can view this!  As I mentioned earlier, I went with Laura to Yorkshire.  We went to a Maundy Thursday service at this very old, tiny church near her parents's village.  It was absolutely enchanting.  Maybe I'm not such a city girl after all.


I was very curious about the church and I asked two of the women if they knew how old the church was.  The one said, "Well, I don't know, but it's older than St. Andrew's, which is over 900 years old."  She said this so casually, as if this is nothing major.  Wow.  Laura commented to me during the service, "Can you imagine?  People have been repeating the same liturgy in this church for hundreds of years."  It was a beautiful Maundy Thursday.
