He told me it was customary for men to kiss each other sometimes, in Norway.

The Dunkards--like the Bohns and Bemisdarfers--were the only Americans I ever knew anything about (if they really were Americans, talking Pennsylvania Dutch as they did) who ever practised it.

They greeted each other with a "holy kiss" and washed each other's feet at their great communion meeting every year.

I never went but once.

The men kissed the men and the women the women.
