Christ is often seen in the New Testament "washing the feet of his students."
This is like a mini-Baptism on his part. But where did this come from?
The Egyptian hieroglyph for purity is a "bucket of water on top of a foot."
An initiation rite used by Egyptian Priests involves bathing prior to entering the Temple. So, Christ is "purifying" someone to make them holy before entering the Temple or holy ground.
