Who is the Spirit of Maundy Thursday Present you ask? Well let’s break this down. The Anglo-Saxon canon and the Book of Kells mentions a friendly woodsman who sailed from ancient Albion to Judea after hearing of the resurrection of Christ. Having established relations with the apostles, the woodsman laid the groundwork for Joseph of Arimithea’s future trip with the Lord to Britain. More importantly however, the woodsman was given the cup of Judas Iscariot that was used at the last supper to guard it and keep it out of the hands of those who would use its dastardly powers for evil. In return for this daunting task, the woodsman was granted the gift of earthly immortality to forever walk the ancient forests of Britain with the cup under lock and key. They say, that if you are good, the Spirit of Maundy Thursday emerges from the Wood every year at this time to grant all believers fulfillment and to spark newfound relationships that bring joy and new blessings great and small
