"Pope Francis to wash windscreens on Maundy Thursday"

From the BBC:

Pope Francis will wash windscreens at a busy junction near Rome on Maundy Thursday.

Thousands of pilgrims and tourists are arriving in Rome to attend ceremonies during the holy week ahead of Easter. The quick splash of Holy Water, rinse and squeegee job on the Thursday before Easter is a Christian tradition commemorating Christ's Last Car Journey.

It is part of a papal calendar of events running up to Easter, the most important festival in the calendar of the Catholic Church. On Easter Sunday morning, the new Pope will deliver his first "Fœnerare mihi Euro" message to the commuters of Rome and to the world.

During his inaugural general audience Wednesday, Francis called for an immediate political solution to poor driver visibility in the CAR (Central African Republic) after last weekend's dust storms.
