In a moving Maundy Thursday celebration at the historic Santhome Cathedral Basilica—resting place of St. Thomas the Apostle—Archbishop George Antonysamy of Madras-Mylapore offered a powerful sign of inclusivity and compassion by washing the feet of society’s most marginalized on April 17.
“Helping each other, even through simple human gestures, springs from a noble heart, and Jesus today wishes to teach us and encourage us to have this "nobility of heart," said Pope Francis.
The Archdiocese of Singapore celebrated Maundy Thursday Mass skipping the traditional washing of the feet, as a precaution against Covid-19, on April 14.
