As a fitting conclusion to the monastic chapter of Holy Thursday, held today in the refectory before dinner, the superior must wash the feet of the community. This is done in memory of Our Lord who on this day washed the feet of the disciples both in order to give us an example of the humility we ought to show to one another, and also to make us understand how pure we should be when we approach Him.
