For Thursday before Easter, commonly known as Maundy Thursday the 1928 Book of Common Prayer (American Edition, 1943) provides two choices for the Gospel reading: Luke 23, which continues from the reading for Wednesday before Easter, and John 13:1-15, which is St. John’s unique (both in content and style) account of Jesus’ model for the humble act of footwashing. There are few examples of how this event was depicted in Christian. Among the best of them is this mosaic at the Monastery of Hosios Loukas, Boeotia, Greece, circa 10th C.
I used this image as Illustration No. 66 in The Gospel of John: Annotated & Illustrated, which is available exclusively through my Amazon Author Central page. Additional information about the book is found on the AIC Bookstore page. In the book, a second image of footwashing, from the Codex Bruchsal, made for use at Speyer Cathedral, Speyer, Germany around 1220 A.D. is Illustration No. 67. The volume was highlighted in my Blog post for 2/17/26 in association with celebration of First Sunday in Lent. The post is linked from the Archives column at right.
Glory be to God for all things! Amen!
