"Pope Francis Breaks Tradition, Washes Feet of 12 Women from Wheelchair at Rome Prison"

Pope Francis, despite recent mobility issues, washed and kissed the feet of 12 women inmates at a Rome prison during a Holy Thursday ritual, emphasizing his vocation of service and humility. The 87-year-old pontiff performed the ritual from his wheelchair, with the venue specially adapted to accommodate his needs. This act, a hallmark of Holy Week, symbolizes Jesus' act of humility and service, and Francis has revolutionized it by including women and people of other faiths. Despite recent health challenges, Francis appeared in good shape and energized during the visit, and he has a busy schedule ahead leading up to Easter.
