On Maundy Thursday the Church gives thanks to Jesus for the institution of the Lord's Supper. The Maundy Thursday service closes with the stripping of the altar while Psalm 22 -- a prophesy of the crucifixion -- is sung. This reminds us of how our Lord stripped to the waist to wash His disciples' feet -- and how He was stripped and beaten before His crucifixion.
