Ablution, in religion, is a prescribed washing of part or all of the body of possessions, such as clothing or ceremonial objects, with the intent of purification or dedication. In Christianity, both baptism and footwashing are forms of ablution. In liturgical churches, ablution can refer to purifying vessels related to the Eucharist. In the New Testament, washing occurs in reference to rites of Judaism part of the action of a healing by Jesus, the preparation of a body for burial, the washing of nets by fishermen, a person's personal washing of the face to appear in public, the cleansing of an injured person's wounds, Pontius Pilate's washing of his hands as a symbolic claim of innocence and foot washing, now a symbolic rite within the Church. According to the Gospel of Matthew, Pontius Pilate declared himself innocent of the blood of Jesus by washing his hands; this act of Pilate may not, have been borrowed from the custom of the Jews. The same practice was common among the Romans. According to Christian tradition, the Pharisees carried the practice of ablution to great excess.

The Gospel of Mark refers to their ceremonial ablutions: "For the Pharisees…wash their hands'oft'" or, more "with the fist". In the Book of Acts and other men performed ablution before entering the Temple in Jerusalem: "Then Paul took the men, the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them."In the Old Testament, ablution was considered a prerequisite to approaching God, whether by means of sacrifice, prayer, or entering a holy place. The Bible has many rituals of purification relating to menstruation, sexual relations, nocturnal emission, unusual bodily fluids, skin disease and animal sacrifices; the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church prescribes several kinds of hand washing for example after leaving the latrine, lavatory or bathhouse, or before prayer, or after eating a meal. The women in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church are prohibited from entering the church temple during menses.

Christianity has always placed a strong emphasis on hygiene, Despite the denunciation of the mixed bathing style of Roman pools by early Christian clergy, as well as the pagan custom of women naked bathing in front of men, this did not stop the Church from urging its followers to go to public baths for bathing, which contributed to hygiene and good health according to the Church Father, Clement of Alexandria. The Church built public bathing facilities that were separate for both sexes near monasteries and pilgrimage sites. Pope Gregory the Great urged his followers on value of bathing as a bodily need. Contrary to popular belief bathing and sanitation were not lost in Europe with the collapse of the Roman Empire. Soapmaking first became an established trade during the so-called "Dark Ages"; the Romans used scented oils, among other alternatives. By the mid-19th century, the English urbanised middle classes had formed an ideology of cleanliness that ranked alongside typical Victorian concepts, such as Christianity and social progress.

The Salvation Army has adopted movement of the deployment of the personal hygiene, by providing personal hygiene products. The Bible has many rituals of purification relating to menstruation, sexual relations, nocturnal emission, unusual bodily fluids, skin disease and animal sacrifices; the Bible includes various regulations about bathing: And whoever he that hath issue touches without having rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, bathe himself in water, be unclean until the evening. A subsequent seven clean days are required, culminating in a ritual and temple offering before the zav is clean of his malady: Now in case the one having a running discharge would become clean from his running discharge, he must count for himself seven days for his purification, he must wash his garments and bathe his flesh in running water, and on the eighth day he should take for himself two turtledoves or two young pigeons, he must come to the entrance of the tent of meeting and give them to the priest.

And references to hand-washing: I will wash my hands in innocence. The word is employed in its broader sense but means a collection of water. Several biblical regulations specify that full immersion in water is required to regain ritual purity after ritually impure incidents have occurred. A person was required to be ritually pure. In this context, "purity" and "impurity" are imperfect translations of the Hebrew "tahara" and "tumah" in that the negative connotation of the word impurity is not intended. After the destruction of the Temple, the mikveh's main uses remained as follows: by women to achieve ritual pur

At the office, his most recurring business wear is a mustard-colored, short-sleeved collared shirt, with a dark necktie and a brown suit jacket, he uses one-upmanship to better himself over his peers, such as boasting about how he trains specific parts of his body. Dwight will sometimes engage in jokes and games in attempts to please Michael, but fails to do so, because of Michael's perception of himself as the jokester of the workplace. After Dwight temporarily leaves Dunder Mifflin, it is shown that he had long been watering the office plant and arranging the toys on Michael's desk in a manner that made Michael happy, unbeknownst to Michael.
