Maundy Thursday, known in Greenlandic as "Sisamanngorneq", is an integral part of the country’s Easter celebrations. It commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles and initiates the Paschal Triduum, the three-day period leading up to Easter Sunday.
Religious Observance: As a predominantly Christian country, with Lutheran Christianity being most widespread, religious services play a significant role. On Maundy Thursday, church services often include the washing of feet, which symbolizes Jesus' act of humility and service towards his disciples.
Quiet Reflection: The day is marked by somber reflection on the sacrifices made by Jesus. Many Greenlanders attend church to engage in prayer and contemplation.
Music and Hymns: Choral music and hymns that reflect on Jesus' passion are common during church services.
Dinner with Family: In keeping with the remembrance of the Last Supper, many families gather for a special meal on this evening.
Preparation for Easter: Maundy Thursday is also a day when Greenlanders prepare for the coming Easter festivities. This can include finalizing plans for gatherings, meals, or outdoor activities traditional during Eastertide.
Community Events: In some communities, there may be events or charitable acts carried out to connect with the spirit of giving and communion inherent to this holy day.
