Maundy Money

Every Maundy Thursday, the Monarch distributes special Maundy money in a service (dating back to 600AD) which commemorates Jesus washing the feet of the Apostles at the Last Supper.
This is an opportunity for the King to thank individuals for their outstanding Christian service and for making a difference to the lives of people in their local communities.
We are delighted that Ruby Davidson, our Session Clerk, has been chosen as a recipient this year.
Ruby writes: “What a surprise when I received a letter from the Royal Almonry Office stating that I had been nominated to be a Maundy recipient and asking if I would accept it!
The service will be held in St Asaph Cathedral, Wales on 2 April and I will be accompanied by Norrie. The precise number of recipients is equal to the King’s age so 77 men and 77 women have been chosen to receive the Maundy Gifts. I feel deeply honoured to have been nominated and was delighted to accept.”
