Pope Francis Washes Prisoners' Feet

Pope Francis Washes Young Prisoners' Feet

Pope Francis has washed and kissed the feet of 12 young prisoners including a Muslim girl at a detention centre in Rome yesterday Thursday, 28 March to replicate the Bible's account of Jesus Christ's gesture of humility towards his 12 apostles including Judas Iscariot, :).

The Christian ritual takes place on the Thursday before Easter to commemorate Christ's Last Supper.

I intentionally boarded a regional train to Rome yesterday (Thursday, 28) from Firenze S.M.N. The train station was filled with thousands of pilgrims and tourists who want to board either the Inter-City or the regional train to Rome to attend ceremonies during the holy week ahead of Easter.

Happy Easter to everyone (Buona Pasqua).
