Great Expectations Question

"When my ablutions were completed,I was put into clean linen of the stiffest character, like a young penitent into sackcloth, and was trussed up in my tightest and fearfullest suit."ch.7 p.51

I am unsure of what some of these words mean. What is an ablution and how was Pip "abluting"? What is a young penitent and how does Pip act like one?
