Holy Thursday Mass is awe-inspiring

I went to the Holy Thursday Mass at my parish tonight and it was an awe-inspiring ceremony. I think Holy Thursday is probably the second best Mass of the year after Easter Vigil. At our parish, we have a ceremony with the new oils - the oils that will be used for sacraments throughout the year. Then we have the priests being servants and washing peoples feet - it is great symbolism on the role of priests as servant of all just like Jesus was. Then at the end of Mass, the altar is stripped bare and the eucharist is brought to the Community Center where a very nice altar is set up there. There is a procession that follows the priest so we can all adore Jesus.
