“Every morning I cleaned the steps of the church... not out of faith, but out of respect for tired feet.”
Andrés Toledo, 79, had a cloth, a broom, and a quiet routine.
At dawn, each day, he swept the steps of the neighborhood church.
He wasn’t on staff.
He wasn’t seeking praise.
He wasn’t even religious.
He simply said:
“Some come to church with broken faith, but tired feet.
The least I can do is let them step on something clean.”
He cleared away dust, leaves, and rain-soaked mud.
He worked in silence—always before the doors opened.
One morning, a young man asked:
“Why do you do this if no one asks you to?”
And Andrés replied:
“Because some acts aren’t prayer… but they’re still sacred.”
A street photographer caught him in a single frame—bent over, broom in hand, cleaning before sunrise.
The photo went viral.
Thousands commented:
“Not everyone who protects a temple is inside it.
Some start at the entrance.”
Andrés still shows up every morning.
When someone stops to thank him, he simply smiles and says:
“It’s not for the church.
It’s for the people.”
🙏
