Does anyone else have the Holy Thursday tradition of visiting three churches in the evening?
I've never heard of 3, but have heard of visiting 7 churches on Holy Thursday.
From what I can remember I think that the significance of visiting 7 churches has something to do with Christians visiting congregations that they wouldn’t normally see. That by going to churches in different neighborhoods it serves as a reminder that the church is a universal church.
I talked to my sister who is almost Opus Dei and she says that she practices the tradition. She also says that at each church they wash the feet of 12 parishoners in remembrance of Jesus washing the Apostles feet.
