Standing and Kneel ingon Sundays

As is evident from the Holy Scriptures, bows, kneeling and prostrations were employed

during Prayer even according to the Old Cove nant.The Holy Prophet, Psalmist and King, St David, referred to bowing down to God or

towards His Temple in many of the Psalms: "...Bow down to the Lord in His Holy

Court..." (P S A L M 28:2) ; "...I shall bow down toward Thy Holy Temple in Fear of

Thee..." (P S A L M 5:8) ; "...O come, let us worship and fall down before Him..."

(P S A L M 94:6) ; "...Let us go forth into His Tabernacles, let us bow down at the

Place where His Feet have stood..." (P S A L M 131 : 7 ) ,etc.

The Holy Prophet, St Daniel, thrice daily "...knelt upon his knees, and prayed and gave

thanks before his God." (D A N I E L 6:10) .

Full prostrations are also mentioned in the Books of the Old Testament: the Holy

Prophets, St Moses and St Aaron besought God, "...having fallen on their faces..."

(N U M B E R S 16:22) , to be merciful to the Children of Israel who had grievously

sinned.

In the New Testament also, the custom of performing kneelings, prostrations and, of

course, bows had been preserved and still had a place at the time of the earthly

Life of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who Sanctified this Old Covenant Tradition by His own

Example, praying on bended knees and failing down upon His Face.Before His Passion, in the Garden of Gethsemane, Christ "...knelt down, and

prayed..."and He "...fell on the ground and prayed..."((Matthew 26:39 & Mark

14:35).

After our Lord Jesus Christs Ascension, during the time of His Holy Apostles, this Holy

Tradition of which Holy Scriptures also speak, existed unchanged.

The Holy Protomartyr and Archdeacon, St Stephen "...knelt down..."and prayed for his

enemies who were stoning him to death. (A C T S 7:60)

The Holy Apostle, St Peter, before raising St Tabitha from the dead, "...knelt down, and

prayed." (A C T S 9 : 40 )

It is an indisputable fact that, as under the first successors of the Apostles, so even in

much later periods of the existence of the Church of Christ, kneeling, bowing and

prostrations upon the ground were always employed by True Believers in their

private Prayers and at the Divine Services. Besides other bodily activities, kneeling

was considered the outward manifestation of humble Prayer, whch was most

pleasing to God. Thus, St Ambrose of Milan said: "...Beyond the rest of the AsceticLabours, kneeling has the power to assuage the Wrath of God and to evoke His

Mercy" (B O O K VI O N T H E S I X DA Y S O F CR E A T I O N, C H . 9 ).

The Canons of the Orthodox Christian Church concerning bowing and kneeling are

set forth in the Books of t he Divine Services, and particularly in the Church Typicon,

and are strictly observed in Monasteries.

However, in general, zealous Orthodox Christians are, of course, permitted to pray on

their knees in Church and to make full Prostrations whenever they wish, except

when the Holy Gospel, the Epistle, the Old Testament Prophecies, the Six Psalms

and the Sermon are read.

The Holy Church lovingly regards such people, and does not constrain their sincere

devotion to God.

Nevertheless, the exceptions with regard to Sundays and the days between Pascha

and Pentecost apply generally to everyone.

According to Ancient Holy Tradition and a clear Church Law, kneeling is forbidden on

these Festal days of Holy Pascha ( I . E . T H E D A Y S O N W H I C H T H E R E S U R R E C T I O N I SCO M M E M O R A T E D E V E R Y S U N D A Y & F R O M PA S C H A T O P E N T E C O S T S U N D A Y .)

The brilliant solemnity of the Events that the Holy Church commemorates throughout

the period of Pentecost and on Sundays precludes, in and of itself, any external

manifestation of sorrow or lamentation over one's sins: for ever since Jesus Christ,

"...blotting out the handwriting of the ordinances that was against us, ... nailing

it to His Cross; and having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a show

of them openly, triumphing over them in it..." ever since then "...there is,

therefore, no condemnation to them who are i n Jesus Christ." (C O L O S S I A N S 2 : 14 -15 & RO M A N S 8 : 1 )

For this reason, the practice was observed in the Holy Church from the earliest times -

beyond a doubt handed down by the Apostles - whereby on all these days, due

to being Consecrated to the Commemoration of the Glorious Victory of Jesus

Christ over sin and Death, it was required to perform the public Divine Service

brightly and with solemnity, and in particular without kneeling, which is a Sign of

Repentant Grief for one's sins.

Tertullian testified: "...On the Lord's Day (i.e. Sunday) we consider it improper to Fast

or to kneel; and we also enjoy this freedom from Pascha until Pentecost." ( ONT H E CR O W N , CH . 3 )

St Peter of Alexandria (3 R D C E N T U R Y CF . H I S CA N O N XV IN T H E RU D D E R ), and the

Apostolic Constitutions(B O O K I I, CH . 5 9) also declare the same thing.

Subsequently, the First Ecumenical Council found it necessary to make this legally

binding by a special Canon obligatory for the entire Church: "...Since there are

some people who kneel in Church on Sundays and on the days of Pentecost,

with a view to preserving uniformity in all Parishes, it has seemed best to the

Holy Council for Prayers to be offered to God while standing." (C A N O N X X ) .Pointing out this Canon, St Basil the G reat explained the rationale and meaning of the

practice: "We stand up when praying on the first of the week, although not all

of us know the reason. For it is not only that it serves to remind us that when we

have Risen from the dead together with Christ, but that we ought to seek the

Things Above, in the Day of Resurrection of the Grace given us, by standing at

Prayer, but that it also seems to serve in a way as a picture of the Expected

Age.

Wherefore, being also the starting point of days, although not the first with Moses,

yet it has been called the first. For it says: The evening and the morning were

the first day(G E N E S I S 1:5) , on the ground that it returns again and again.

The eighth, therefore, is also the first, especially as respects that really first and

true Eighth Day, which the Psalmist too has mentioned in some of the

superscriptions of his Psalms, serving to exhibit the state which is to succeed

this period of time, the Unceasing Day, the Day without a night that follows, the

Day without successor, the Never-ending and Unaging Age.

Of necessity, therefore, the Church teaches Her Children to fulfill their obligationsto pray therein while standing up, in order by constantly reminding them of the

Deathless Life to prevent them from neglecting the Provisions for the Journey

thither.

And every Pentecost is a reminder of the expected Resurrection in the Age to

come.

For that one First Day, being multiplied seven times over, constitutes the seven

weeks of the Holy Pentecost.

For by starting from the first day of the week, one arrives on the same day

The Laws of the Church have taught us to prefer the upright posture at Prayer,

thus transporting our mind, so to speak, as a result of a vivid and clear

suggestions, from the present age to the things come in the future.

And during each kneeling and stan ding up again we are in fact showing by our

actions that is was through sin that we fell to Earth, and that through the

Kindness of the One Who created us we have been called back to Heaven"(C A N O N XC I OF S T . B A S I L T H E G R E A T ).

The three well-known Kneeling Prayers of Pentecost composed by this Great Holy

Church Father are thus not read at Third Hour, when the Holy Spirit descended

upon the Apostles, nor at Divine Liturgy on Pentecost Sunday, but at Vespers,

which is already part of the following day, a fter the Entrance.

St Basil was determined not to break the ancient Holy Tradition of the Church.

Canon XC of the Council of Trullo, held in conjunction with the Sixth Ecumenical

Council, states: "...We have received it Canonical from our God-bearing

Fathers not to bend the knee on Sundays when honouring the Resurrection of

Christ.Since this observation may not be clear to some of us, we are making it plain to

the Faithful, that after the Entrance of those in Holy Orders into the Sacrificial

Altar on the evening of t he Sa turday in question, let none of them bend the

knee until the evening of the following Sunday, when, following the Entrance

after the lamps have been lit, again bending knees, we thus begin to offer our

Prayers to the Lord.

For, inasmuch as we have received it that the night succeeding Saturday was the

precursor of our Saviours Rising, we commence our Hymns at this point in a

Spiritual Manner, ending the Festival by passing out of Darkness into Light, in

order that we may hence celebrate the Resurrection together for a whole day

and a whole night."

John Zonaras, explained the Canon: "Various Canons have made it a Law not to

kneel on Sundays or during the Fifty Days of Pentecost, and Basil the Great also

supplied the reasons for which this was forbidden.

This Canon decrees only with regard to Sunday, clearly indicates from what Hour

and until Hour to kneel, and says: On Saturday, after the Entrance of theCelebrants into the Altar at Vespers, no one may bend the knee until Vespers

on Sunday itself, when, again, the Entrance of the Celebrants takes place: for

we do not transgress by bending the knee and praying in such a manner from

that time on.

For Saturday night is considered the night of the Day of Resurrection, which,

according to the words of this Canon, we must pass in the chanting of Psalms,

carrying the Feast over from Darkness to Light, and in such manner celebrate

the Resurrection for the entire night and day" (BO O K O F T H E CA N O N S WI T HIN T E R P R E T A T I O N S , P . 7 29 ).

The Church Typicon instructs how the Priest must approach and kiss the Holy Gospel

after reading it during the All-Night Vigil for the Resurrection: "...Do not make

Prostrations to the ground, but small bows, until the hand touches the ground.

For on Sunday and Feasts of the Lord and during the entire Fifty Days between

Pascha and Pentecost the knee is not bent." (T Y P I C O N , C H . 2 ).

Nevertheless, standing at the Divine Services on Sunday and on the days between

Pascha and Pentecost was the privilege of those who were in full Communion with

the Church; but the so-called "Penitents" were not dispensed from kneeling even

on those days.

Theodore Balsamon, Patriarch of Antioch cautioned us: "Preserve the Canonical

Decrees, whereever and however they should be phrased; and say not that

there are contradictions among them, for the All-holy Spirit has worded them

all." (I N T E R P R E T A T I O N O F CA N O N XC O F T H E CO U N C I L O F T R U L L O).

the Disciples, to extol and GlorifyGod. So, now that our hearts arenoetically Illumined, and we areFortified in Faith by the Holy Spirit,let us earnest pray for the Salvationof our soul.

Do not cast me away from ThyPresence nor take Thy Holy Spiritfrom me.

Now the Apostles of Christ are clothedwith Power from on High; for theComforter Renews them and is

On the last day, that Great Day of theFeast, Jesus stood and cried out,saying: "If anyone thirsts, let himcome to Me and drink.

He who believes in Me - as theScripture has said - out of his heartwill flow rivers of Living Water."

This He spoke concerning the Spirit,Whom those believing in Him wouldreceive; for the Holy Spirit was notyet given, because Jesus was not yetGlorified.

Therefore many from the crowd, whenthey heard this saying, said: Trulythis is the Prophet."

Others said: "This is the Christ."Some said: "Will the Christ come out of

Galilee?

Has not the Scripture said that theChrist comes from the seed of Davidand from the town of Bethlehem,where David was?"

Now some of them wanted to take Him,but no one laid hands upon Him.

Then the officers came to the ChiefPriests and Pharisees, who said tothem: "Why have you not broughtHim?"

The officers answered: "No man everspoke like this Man!"

The Pharisees answered them: "Are youalso deceived? Have any of theRulers of the Pharisees believed inHim? But this crowd that does notknow the Law is accursed!"

Nikodemos (he who came to Jesus bynight, being one of them), said tothem: "Does our Law judge a manbefore it hears him and knows what

he is doing?"They answered and said to him: "Are

you also from Galilee? Search andlook, for no Prophet has arisen out ofGalilee."

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying,"I Am the Light of the world. Hewho follows Me shall not walk inDarkness, but have the Light ofLife."

Inscribe their names in the Book of Life;

For there is no Death, O Lord, to Thydeparting servants who cast off their

bodies and come to Thee, O God, buta transition from sorrowful things topleasant and benign, to Repose andJoy.

And if they have sinned (in any respect)against Thee, forgive them, and beThou Compassionate to them andus; for there is none without stain

before Thee, even though our life bebut a day - save Thou alone, JesusChrist our God, Who appeared onearth without sin, and because ofThee we all trust in attaining ThyMercy and the Remission of sins.

Therefore, O God, through Thy Graceand Love of mankind, weaken, remitand forgive our sins and theirs;overlook both our voluntary andinvoluntary offences, which we have

committed either wilfully or throughignorance, openly or in secretwhether by word, deed, or thoughtand all our wrathful dealings whichwe have committed during ourlifetime.

As for those who have preceded us,grant them Emancipation andRepose. To those of us who are here,Bless us, and grant us and all ThyPeople a Blessed and Peaceful End tothis life.

is night - in it shall all the beasts ofthe woods go about -

The young lions roaring after theirpray, and seeking their meat fromGod.

The sun rises, and they are gatheredtogether: and they shall lie down intheir dens.

Man shall go forth to his work, and tohis labour until the evening.

How great art Thy Works, O Lord!Thou hast made all things inWisdom- the earth is filled with ThyRiches.

So is this great sea, which stretcheswide its arms - there are creepingthings without number - creaturessmall and great.

There the ships shall go - the seadragon which Thou hast formed - toplay therein.
