Maundy Thursday today. In many parishes the clergy offer to wash the feet of the congregation. This must be a great boon to the pedicure industry, for what good Anglican would want to have their Vicar see their feet disfigured with gnarled toenails, chipped nail polish, bunions, corns or athlete’s foot? I imagine the Clergy of England have never seen such a delightful parade of sweetly perfumed and well-buffed feet before.
