It was sometime during the late 1980s when I watched the film A Wedding In Galilee, where I noticed a married couple ceremoniously observing a foot-washing ritual during their Wedding Night. I found this detail very interesting and made a note of it in my mind.

Some time later I happened to visit a friend on 6 December 1992 with the Chairman of The Rennes Group. The friend was entertaining a guest who happened to be a Jewish Irishman who was also interested in the subject matter of Rennes-le-Château. So I used this opportunity to ask him about the foot-washing ceremony during Wedding Nights in Israel. He replied that such a tradition wasn't confined to Israel alone, but was also found in most other Middle Eastern countries. I found this interesting.

The foot-washing ceremony during the Wedding Ceremony (not specifically the Wedding Night itself) exists in the United Kingdom (most probably inherited from the Middle East in the distant past). Here (ashdurham.com), here (blairblogs.com) and here (theadorablemess.blogspot.com).

Does this indicate the marriage of Jesus Christ to Mary Magdalene? Answer: Yes, but not to a Material Marriage or a real historical Marriage. But rather instead a Sacred Marriage that does not indicate carnal relations – the exact opposite. Gnostic Scholars have known about this since the year dot as the Gnostic Bridal Chamber whereby the Male and Female join together to become ONE and become the Sacred Androgyne. It relates to something that exists above ordinary Human Experience. It relates an entry into the world of pre-creation of Matter into the pristine and ineffable world of perfection.

It would be silly to imagine that every Roman Catholic Nun who wears a betrothal ring to Jesus Christ would necessarily be eventually married to Jesus Christ in the corporeal and material world. The same meaning applies to the New Testament passages that describe the washing-of-Christ's-feet-ceremony by Mary Magdalene (and the unnamed woman mentioned in the Gospel of Luke).

Scholars apply a mundane interpretation to the passages in the Gospels of Jesus Christ having his feet washed by Mary Magdalene and an unnamed woman. It signifies simply a typical act of a slave showing respect and friendship towards a visitor. Foot-Washing was common for all sorts of different reasons in the ancient Middle East.
