This action titles a set of three prayers by Basil the Great that are (15[1])recited in Eastern Orthodox churches at the Vespers service on Pentecost. At a prie-dieu, this action is often taken with the aid of a tuffet or hassock.

(10[1])After an altar call, churchgoers may perform this action at the altar rail. In front of their seats, pews are often equipped with a cushioned board 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■ (10[1])
