Leviticus 15: Cleanliness Is Next To Godliness:
http://www.keyway.ca/htm2013/20131106.htm
“The traditional "cleanliness is next to Godliness" saying is not actually specifically-stated in the Holy Scriptures, but the principle surely is commanded by the Word of God. Notice in these examples how being physically washed applies also to being spiritually washed."

“Charles Haddon Spurgeon, often referred to as the Prince of Preachers, said that up until the time he was baptized, he was afraid to confess Christ. Thereafter, he lost all fear of man and never again hesitated to boldly profess his faith."
Leviticus 12: Cleansing After Birth:
http://biblehub.com/commentaries/guzik/commentaries/0312.htm
“Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the children of Israel, saying: 'If a woman has conceived, and borne a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of her customary impurity she shall be unclean."

“Ghusl is a major ablution as opposed to wudu which is a minor ablution. In Islamic laws, ghusl is considered an act of worship; it is an act of purifying oneself from the ritual impurity (najasat) caused by sexual intercourse, discharge of semen or blood, and by touching the dead body."

“The prohibition of pork in Islam is derived from the following verse of the Glorious Qur’an: ‘Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah.' [Al-Qur’an 5:3]"
The Circumcision Ceremony:

“Circumcision is an initiation rite for Jewish newborn babies. This usually takes place in a ceremony called a Brit (or Bris) milah witnessed by family and community members."
When Sharing Faith Means Sharing Germs:
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/belief/2011/feb/03/kissing-icons-hygiene-faith-germs
“Every day, between three and four thousand Catholic and Eastern Orthodox pilgrims queue to enter the Tomb of Jesus in the holiest site in Christendom, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem."
