[edit] Foot washing?

What about foot-washing? Should that be on this list? Michael Hardy 01:15, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

I have never seen it referenced as a sacramental. On the other hand I am not sure there is an official list of all sacramentals. It meets some of the criteria for a sacramental. The main difference I can see is that in Catholicism it is presented as an activity for the clergy to perform (as part of the Holy Thursday liturgy) rather than an activity for the layity--not that there is anything sinful (that I can tell) in the faithful washing each others' feet if they decide to. My guess is that feet washing would probably be considered a ceremony, rather than a sacramental. --Eoghanacht 13:59, 2005 May 27 (UTC)
