Maundy Thursday 2026 in Vatican City

The Vatican City calendar lists Maundy Thursday, locally Giovedì santo, as public on 2 April. The supplied context describes it as a Holy Week feast marking the beginning of the Paschal Triduum. It commemorates Jesus’ washing of the disciples’ feet and the Last Supper. Its date varies from year to year, and the calendar places it on 2 April in 2026. The record does not explain the legal basis or practical reach of the public-holiday designation.
