In this glass negative, the subject is the ritual washing of feet, a rite that Christians in Jerusalem have traditionally tied to the Gospel account of Jesus washing his disciples' feet before the Last Supper. The negative is undated, and its title comes from caption information that the Bain News Service recorded, which the Library of Congress notes it has not verified. The Bain company was a commercial news photo agency in New York, so its pictures often show events and places that drew wide public interest in the early twentieth century. Viewers should read the scene as a ceremony that was practiced within a specific religious tradition rather than as an everyday act.
