Zealand a few years ago and there an "ablution block" (or
ablution area) is a place in a campground where one washes
things — dishes, clothing, etc. That definition of ablution is
also a sort of "purification", I reckon.<br>

In French, "ablution" means hygienic body washing. Misleading.
Purification is a secondary meaning.<br>

<br>
I would like to propose a new tag for Ablution (ritual
purification).<br>
Wikipedia says that that there's Ablution in Islam,
Christianity and<br>
Judaism <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ablution"
target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ablution</a>
and worship sites usually<br>
have an area set aside for this.<br>
<br>
Islam:<br>

target="_blank">https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ablution_area_inside_Eastern_wall_of_Badshahi_mosque.JPG</a><br>
<br>
Judaism:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"

<br>
I would like to tag it as amenity=ablution for a stand alone
facility as<br>
pictured above or ablution=yes if a toilet has facilities
specifically<br>
for performing ablution.<br>
