Show Notes

Pope Leo XIII revived the traditional Holy Thursday foot-washing ritual, washing the feet of twelve priests at Saint John Lateran Basilica. Unlike his predecessor, he stuck to tradition, excluding women and laypeople, and emphasized the humble act as a symbol of service. This move underscores his efforts to strengthen the role of priests and foster unity within the church.
