A fact about JAINISM today. This Indian religion is the world's 9th most popular faith; if Christianity is The Beatles and Islam is U2, then Jainism is probably...Phil Collins. Let's fact!
Jainism is a very gentle, careful religion. Not only do Jains sweep the ground in front of them as they go - thus avoiding accidentally killing insects - but when performing holy deeds, Jains wear cloths over their mouths and noses to avoid saliva falling on texts or revered images.
I do wish vicars in church would do this too. You could squint and pretend you were at a Michael Jackson concert.
