The other day, someone was telling me that why have a Maundy Thursday service without serving Communion since that was the day of the last supper.
Help me out here. I realize that the last supper was when Jesus instituted the Lord's Supper (Communion), yet how does the last supper relate to the Passover? It has always been said in talking about the sacraments that baptism and circumcision goes together, and Communion and Passover goes together. Please tell me the connection between Passover and the last supper? It is probably an easy explanation, but I am drawing blanks.

The occasion for the first Lord's Supper was Passover. The first Lord's Supper was, in fact, a Passover Seder!
The Jewish Passover Seder became, in the New Covenant, the Lord's Supper. As the Jews had looked forward with faith to the Cross (represented by the Passover), so we look backwards with faith to the Cross, represented by the Lord's Supper.
