i always thought the foot washing thing was creepy and gross

i suspect jesus (if indeed there even ever was an actual specific dude matching his description) had a foot fetish

Through a modern lens yeah the footwashing thing seems weird, but 2,000 years ago when sandals were the common footwear its a fair bit different.

I always understood washing feet to mean putting yourself into a lower position to teach yourself or show humbleness.

Sort of similar to how some Indian cultures people prostrate and touch the feet of elders to show respect.
