Shaved armpits today.
Shorn "private parts" on Monday, I believe.
and the divine mysteries of clerics' tonsures before that.

Perhaps the shaving of the Holy Armpit alludes to his sacrifice; the
shearing of the Lamb of God, as it were. Tho' it does seem the assertion of
His twin natures, human and divine, were better made with arm hairs still
intact, au naturel. And one can only speculate on the forgotten relics trod
into the dust by the French Revolutionists - the holy diaper: gone; blessed
umbilical cord: gone; perfect foreskin: gone. and if St. Helena found the
Holy Hay which the ox and ass refrained from eating (and which Gerard DAvid
painted for us,tied up in a bundle waiting for her to arrive), then might
not the Holy Hair be still in some forgotten church bodega?
