During the Last Supper, Jesus washed his disciples feet. The name 'Maundy' is derived from the command or mandatum by Christ at the Last Supper, to love one another: 'And now I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.' John 15:12

It really is such an intimate act...and so meaningful.
Whose foot? :) Nice shot.
It is Dirk's foot, being washed by his EFM teacher.
It's a nice picture, and I'm impressed that Dirk let you take it! Seems like most of the time people are self-conscious when they're getting their feet washed, and photographing it might add to that... Glad you had a cooperative dh to help you capture the memory of serving one another in humility...
I love this picture and what it portrays. It's cool that both have bare feet.
I was in tears at our foot washing; it is indeed intimate and speaks of Christ's intimate love for us.
I didn't have my camera handy, but the Beadle took a photo of Father Acker washing my feet, so if I can get a hold of it.....
