maundy (ritual ablution) (ablutions, rituals (events), ... Events (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Ritual washing of the feet, derived from hospitality customs of ancient civilizations in which a host would provide water and often a servant to wash the feet of the visitor. Owing to the general use of sandals in Eastern countries, the washing of the feet was almost everywhere recognized from the earliest times as a duty of courtesy. The principle modern example is the ceremony performed by Christian denominations on Maundy Thursday during Lent, following the example of Jesus in Biblical passages.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Het rituele wassen van de voeten, afgeleid van de gebruikelijke gastvrijheid in oude beschavingen, waarin een gastheer water en vaak een bediende aanbood aan zijn gasten om hun voeten te wassen. Doordat men in het Oosten over het algemeen sandalen droeg, werd het wassen van de voeten al sinds de oudheid bijna overal gezien als beleefdheidsplicht. Het voornaamste moderne voorbeeld van dit gebruik is de ceremonie die in christelijke kerken op Witte Donderdag, in de vastentijd, gehouden wordt, naar het in Bijbelse passages beschreven voorbeeld van Jezus.
