Description:

This olive wood carving from Bethlehem depicts the master Jesus Christ kneeling in humble service to wash the feet of his apostles, commanding us to do the same out of love for our neighbor. The facelessness of the figures reminds us as Christians that anyone can serve others, if only one remembers to be humble as Jesus was.

This piece calls to mind John 13:16, where Jesus states that “no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.”
