at Rome is that known the washing of the
feet on Thursday. in COmmemoration Of Christ's
washing the feet Of His Apostles. 1t likewise
takes place on that day at the royal palace Of
Madrid and at the Hofburg NJ Vienna. on the
of Good Friday. But. whereas in the Aus
trian and Spanish capitals the people whose
feet washed by the sovereign are twelve in
number, in Rome the cardinal vicar (who since
1870 has taken the place Of the Pontiff in the
natter invariably washes the feet OF thirteen
men, The custom Of having thirteen instead Of
twelve poor men 10 represent the Apostles on
this occasion dates from the reign OF Gregory
the Great. According 10 sacred legend and
popular tradition. one Holy Thursday, when
Gregory the Great was engaged in washing the
feet Of the twelve poor men whom he always
assembled on that day at a bounteously spread
table, he suddenly found a thirteenth before
him on whose feet were the stlgmata Of the
wounds Of the cross. and who had mysteriously
vanished before the kneeling Pontifr. completely
overcome by the sight. had risen to his feet
From that time forth thirteen. instead of being
considered unlusky, has always been looked
upon as sacred number by the Roman Catholic
Church. and more especially at Rome, and no.
where is the prejudice against the number thir-
teen regarded with less favor to-day than at the
Vatican.
a NA'S AiOlDufB the venerable EN-
peror, in spite Of his advanced age, never fails
on Holy Thursday to perform in person the
ceremony OF washing the feet OF twelve poor
men, who. arrayed IN new clothes furnished by
him for the occasion. sit in a line on raised
daYs. After brief religious ceremony, the
monarch kneels before each one IN turn, and
pOurs on the extended foot some tepid rose
scented water from a golden ewer which Is
carried for him by the cardinal archbishop Of
Vienna, while the senior archduke present bears
the golden basin. Another high dignitary ex-
tends 10 him the embroidered towel with which
he dries each foot When the foot washing Is
complete and the men have resumed their foot
