Maundy Thursday is thought to have come from muand baskets used in English fishing communities. Hundreds of years ago fairs were held, and people bought and sold cattle, horses, and other foodstuffs. Fisherman sold fresh fish from their maund baskets. Hats and other clothing items were also popular items for sale. Many Historians believe this is the origin the Easter bonnet.
