Pope Francis Washes Feet of Migrants for Holy Thursday

The Washington Post reports on Pope Francis’s Holy Thursday foot-washing ritual, in which he washed the foot of Muslim, Christian and Hindu refugees.  From the WaPo article:  “The Holy Thursday rite re-enacts the foot-washing ritual Jesus performed on his apostles before being crucified, and is meant as a gesture of service. Francis contrasted that gesture with the “gesture of destruction” carried out by the Brussels attackers, saying they wanted to destroy the brotherhood of humanity represented by the migrants.”
