Why is holy thursday is considered as a special day in the christian calender?

Answer 1

Holy Thursday is one of the most significant, complex, and reflective days of celebration in the Catholic Cathedrals. Holy Thursday celebrates the institution of the Eucharist or Christian rite as the true body and blood of Jesus Christ and the institution of the ceremony of the priesthood. Around the world, priests come together at their local Churches on Holy Thursday morning to celebrate the institution of the priesthood. During the Mass, the bishop blesses the Oil of Chrism that will be used for Baptism, Confirmation, and Anointing of the sick or dying.
