The Christian practice of baptism is an instance of ablution. Foot washing is another Christian practice involving washing. However, it signifies humility and service to others.

According to the Gospel of Matthew (27:24), Pontius Pilate declared himself innocent of the blood of Jesus by washing his hands. This act of Pilate may not, however, have been borrowed from the custom of the Jews. The same practice was common among the Greeks and Romans.

According to Christian tradition, the Pharisees carried the practice of ablution to great excess.(Matthew 23:25) The Gospel of Mark (7:1-5) refers to the ceremonial ablutions. The Pharisees washed their hands "oft," more correctly, "with the fist" (R.V., "diligently"), or as an old father, Theophylact, explains it, "up to the elbow." (Compare also Mark 7:4; Lev. 6:28; 11: 32-36; 15:22) (See Washing.)

In the Book of Acts (21:26), Paul and other men performed ablution before entering the temple: Then Paul took the men, and 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 Roman Catholic and Anglo-Catholic masses, the "Ablutions" refers to when the priest rinses his hands in wine and water following the Communion.

In the Eastern (Byzantine) Catholic Church's Divine Liturgy, "ablution" refers to the priest's consuming of the remainder of the Eucharist following Holy Communion. The Eucharist is always received in both Body & Blood (consecrated from leavened bread and wine), so the portion which remains in the chalice must be consumed.

The only time at which dry particles are reserved is during the Great Fast (Lent) for the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts. Because the Great Fast is aliturgical -- meaning no Divine Liturgies are to be celebrated on any day except Saturday and Sunday -- the Gifts are retained from the Sunday Divine Liturgy.

Eastern Theology frowns upon receiving the Eucharist outside of the Divine Liturgy (or Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts) except for the ill, infirm, or homebound. In addition, the Eucharist is not reserved in the same manner as in the Western (Roman Catholic) Church for adoration. The Eastern Church views the Eucharist as medicinal for the body and soul and only useful to the faithful if consumed.

When I was in the army ablutions usually meant a bowl of cold water, and some carbolic soap and hope for the best!

Wash your right hand to the wrist 3x, then your left hand to the wrist 3x.
Then, using your right hand, take some water to your mouth, swish around and expectorate (spit); using the remaining water, sniff it into your nose and use your left hand to wipe your nose. Do this 3x also. Next, wash your face (beard included if you're a male) 3x. Now, wash your right arm from the wrist to just above the elbow 3x and repeat for the left arm. Then, wash your hair front to back, wipe the backs of your hands down your neck, then back to front through the hair. Without removing your hands, then wash your ears 3x. Finally, wash your right foot 3x (including between the toes and up to the lower shin) and repeat with the left foot.

Personally I shave and then shower. That way I wash off all the shaving cream. Many say to shower first as this softens up your beard. Some split the difference and shave in the shower.

Whatever floats your boat.

Pull out your checkbook, and write the check out to the 700 Club or Benny Hinn....

And yes, I'm being snarky again, so don't take me seriously.
