Question

At a church in Quipao, devotees will either approach barefoot or while performing this action on their way to the image of the Black Nazarene. This action titles a set of three prayers by Basil the Great that are recited in Eastern Orthodox churches at the Vespers service on Pentecost. At a prie-dieu, this action (15[1])is often taken with the aid of a tuffet or hassock. In Anglican churches, “no adoration is intended, or ought to be done” when this action is done while taking the (*) Eucharist, (10[2])according to the Book of Common Prayer’s Black Rubric. After an altar call, churchgoers may perform this action at the altar rail. In front of their seats, pews (10[2])are often equipped with a cushioned board (10[1])on which attendees perform this motion during public prayer. For 10 points, name this action sometimes distinguished from genuflection by lowering oneself onto both shins. ■END■

ANSWER: kneeling [accept Kneeling Prayers; accept kneelers; accept genuflection before it is read; accept kneel-walking; reject “bowing”; reject “prostration”]
