Innocent XIII 1722 Washing of the Feet ORIGINAL Photo

Obverse: Pope Innocent XIII right. Reverse: Kneeling Christ at right washing the feet of apostle Peter. Pierced, nice patina, original medal by Ermenegildo Hamerani. The Washing of the Feet medal was instituted circa mid-16th century and issued until 1870. Every Holy Thursday (Maundy Thursday) the pope re-enacts Christ's action at the Last Supper by washing the feet of twelve ordinary people who would also receive the medal in gold and silver.
