    There’s (apparently? I’m not Christian and I only heard about it recently) a thing where the pope goes to a prison and washes the feet of twelve of the incarcerated in Rome I think during holy week. It’s religious symbolism, some form of inclusion, something to do with the last supper and Jesus washing the feet of his disciples? Again, not Christian (grew up in a cult) so definitely not Catholic and that’s the most I’m confident saying without exposing some huge misunderstanding I have of Christianity.

    This is the article I found on it happening most recently. A quick glance found it happened at least back in 2018, maybe (probably?) earlier.
