KNEELING
Kneeling in prayer denotes contrition and sorrow, therefore, Sunday is not a day of sorrow and sadness but a day of joy, gladness, -- the day of the Lord's Resurrection.
The Orthodox Church points out that Christians, genuflect during the sanctification of the Precious Gifts, not to feel contrition or sorrow, but as an expression of the wonder of the Mystery of Mysteries --the change of the Bread and Wine to the very Body and Blood of our Lord Saviour Jesus Christ.
