Life of Christ: Washing of the Feet
Giotto di Bondone (1267-1337)
Public domain

"As ministers of Holy Communion be, therefore, especially observant of the Lord's command to love your neighbor. For when he gave his body as food to his disciples, he said to them: 'This is my commandment, that you should love one another as I have loved you.'"
