THE SERVICE OF THE WASHING OF THE DISCIPLES’ FEET AT THE PATRIARCHATE

 On March 31/ April 13, 2023, the Service of the washing of the Disciples’ feet was held at the Catholicon of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre instead of the Holy Court Yard due to torrential rain. At this service, H.H.B. our Father and Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos washed the feet of twelve Hagiotaphite Hieromonks, in remembrance of the event when our Lord washed His Disciples’ feet, teaching us humility as the perfect way to salvation.

At the end of the service, the Patriarchal entourage returned to the Patriarchate under the changing of the hymns of the day.
