Jesus Washing the Disciples Feet olive wood

The hand-carved olive wood statue depicting Jesus washing the feet of one of his disciples, an event described in the Gospel of John (Chapter 13). This iconic scene, often referred to as the Washing of the Feet, is a powerful symbol of humility, service, and love within Christianity. The statue captures the moment during the Last Supper when Jesus, knowing his impending crucifixion, humbled himself by performing the task typically reserved for the lowest servant – washing the feet of his disciples, including Peter and even Judas Iscariot. This act serves as a profound example of servant leadership and humility, teaching his followers to serve one another with love and to put others' needs before their own. It also symbolizes a spiritual cleansing and renewal of commitment to Christ
