St. Sharbel Maronite Catholic Church in Warren, MI welcomed Bishop Robert Joseph Shaheen on Thursday, to help perform the traditional washing of the feet ritual. The washing of the feet during Holy Thursday services in Christian churches is a call for all to be of service to others, religious leaders say.
Holy Thursday kicks off the Easter Tridiuum, the holiest time on the Christian calendar, which includes Holy Thursday, Good Friday and the Easter Vigil.
Bishop Shaheen is visiting St. Sharbel for the Holy Week. He is expected to participate in both the Good Friday and Easter liturgies.
