Pope Francis will wash the
feet of 12 inmates at Velletri jail south of Rome in the
traditional Maundy Thursday ceremony recalling Jesus's washing
his apostles' feet, the Vatican said Wednesday.
The ceremony will take place at 16:30 on Thursday April 18,
three days before Easter.
In the past, at the In Coena Domini (At The Lord's Supper)
ceremony, Francis has washed the feet of migrants and women, as
well as other jail inmates.
The pope will also meet with all the Velletri inmates, prison
staff and members of the penitentiary police, the Vatican said.
