Holy Thursday: Cardinal Cupich washes feet of Venezuelan refugees

Cardinal Cupich washes the feet of Venezuelan refugees on Holy Thursday, April 6, 2023 at Holy Name Cathedral. The symbolic act of feet washing imitates the example of Jesus at the Last Supper who washed the feet of the 12 disciples as a gesture of His servitude, humility and love to all.
