Maundy Thursday

Regular foot washing and Eucharist, then the procession to the Altar of Repose with the Body of Christ (bread consecrated for tomorrow), the bishop with cope on, and a wrap around him and the ceborium (bread inside) under a black umbrella,( I do not know if the umbrella colour is significant) slowly walks to the where the Altar of Repose is, he preceded by the priests and servers walking backwards, incense billowing and flower petals being scattered in front of the bishop,  and the server with the umbrella is ringing a bell to alert everyone what it moving, quite a procession!
