Historically this is the work of a slave.
After a day of walking on dusty roads it was common for a guest to offer a refreshing foot wash.
It was done in Old Testament history.
(II Samuel 11:8)
It is listed in a list of good things.
(I Timothy 5:10)
Jesus used a lack of foot-washing.
"Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair."
(Luke 7:44) This is not Mary.
