Why don't the orthodox church wash the feet of men on Holy Thursday?
The Orthodox Church does the re-enactment of the washing of the feet service on Holy Thursday. This is done in Jerusalem where the Patriarch washes the feet of his priests, and is also done in Greece by the Archbishop of Athens. Other local churches do this, but not all parish churches have their own washing of the feet re-enactments. These re-enactments are done by a bishop (representing Jesus) washing the feet of his priests (representing the 12 disciples), so it is usually done in Orthodox churches when a bishop is present with 12 priests during the service.
