Pope Francis visits a women’s section of the Rebibbia prison in Rome for a foot-washing Mass. Francis is the first pope to hold the foot-washing ceremony outside churches, usually in prisons, homes for the elderly or hospices, continuing a practice he began when he was archbishop of Buenos Aires. He's also the first pope to include women and non-Christians in the service. The ceremony echoes Jesus' gesture of humility toward his apostles on the night before he died.
