(CNN) -- Pope Francis washed the feet of a dozen prisoners, including young women, at a youth detention center in Rome as part of a Holy Thursday Mass ahead of Easter.
The pontiff poured water over the young offenders' feet, wiped them with a white towel and kissed them.
The act of foot-washing at the Mass of the Lord's Supper is part of the Christian tradition that mirrors Jesus' washing of his disciples' feet.
Francis' decision to celebrate the Mass with young offenders at the Casal del Marmo center represents a break with tradition but is in step with his record in embracing simplicity and humility.

Is he going to sell off the vast wealth of the vatican to help the impoverished?

A more potent symbol of true humility and repentance would have been if he washed the feet of twelve victims of Catholic paedophile rape

Symbolisms, yet no sincerity.

Does it say what the prisoners crimes are?
Detention centre?
