Pope Leo XIV will celebrate the liturgies of Holy Week and the Easter Triduum for the first time as pope this week.
After 12 years in which Pope Francis celebrated the Mass of the Lord's Supper in prisons, washing the feet of incarcerated people, women and non-Catholics, Leo opted to open the Easter Triduum in the Basilica of St.
"Pope Leo's decision to wash the feet of priests complements his decision to denote in the month of April his prayer intention for priests in crisis."
