The Pope goes to the women's prison in Rome for the Holy Thursday mass. Francis will wash the feet of twelve inmates, imitating the gesture of Jesus of Nazareth with his disciples at the Last Supper.
In his eleven years of pontificate he has celebrated the 'In Coena Domini' mass generally in prisons, but also in reception centers for refugees, in juvenile correctional facilities or in residences, with the sick. This morning, the Argentine Pontiff opened the rites of the Easter Triduum of Holy Week in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican with the Chrism Mass.
