Happy Foot-Washin' Day

(Happy Holy Week)

I don’t really celebrate Holy Week. Fundamentalists aren’t allowed to actually celebrate anything, other than the Lord’s Day every week, but you don’t get presents and trees and Easter eggs every Sunday, now, do you?

Rant over. Though it’s not part of my religious tradition, I like the idea of Maundy Thursday, when Jesus was supposed to have had his last Passover meal (the Last Supper) with his closest followers, during which he humbled himself to wash their feet — which may have been an even bigger deal then than it is now. I mean, bare feet. Sandals. Dusty roads. Eww.
