Today is ” Maundy Thursday”

Maundy Thursday (also known as Holy Thursday) is the Christian feast, or holy day, falling on the Thursday before Easter. It commemorates the Maundy and Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles as described in the Canonical gospels. It is the fifth day of Holy Week, and is preceded by Holy Wednesday and followed by Good Friday.
Oddly enough this year it falls on “National Ask an Atheist Day” which occurs every year on the 3rd Thursday of April. It is an opportunity for secular groups across the country to work together to defeat stereotypes about atheism and encourage courteous dialogue between believers and nonbelievers alike. The event is intended to be an opportunity for the general public - particularly people of faith - to approach and ask questions about secular life.
