Holy Thursday

For example, on Holy Thursday, popes traditionally washed the feet of 12 male priests, a show of humility meant to echo Jesus’ washing the feet of his disciples the night before he died.

I quit Hallow on the day I was told is Holy Thursday — I did learn a lot about how many holy days there are! — and sang my own "hallelujiah" in response.

Francis did preside over the Holy Thursday ritual of washing the feet of the faithful at a women’s prison in Rome.

On Holy Thursday, known in Britain as Maundy Thursday, Charles skipped a service at which the monarch traditionally hands out gifts of special “Maundy Money” coins to people involved in community service.

The Holy Thursday foot-washing ceremony is a hallmark of every Holy Week and recalls the foot-washing Jesus performed on his 12 apostles at their last supper together before he was crucified.
