Further information

Green Soup for Green Thursday

In Germany the Thursday before Easter is called Gründonnerstag, or Green Thursday. This day commemorates Christ’s Last Supper, the last meal he ate with his disciples, and the institution of the Eucharist.

While German word grün does mean “green,” the grün in Gründonnerstag actually comes from an ancient German word, greinen, meaning “to cry or moan.”

The tradition of calling Holy Thursday (or Maudy Thursday) Green Thursday has a number of possible origins.

However green herbs are eaten on the Holy Thursday to express the joy that Easter is near.
