Kneeling is permitted at any time in the Eastern Orthodox Church, but most commonly during the preparation of the Holy Gifts (the prayers before Holy Communion).
However, the Fathers of the Church have recommended that kneeling should not take place on Sundays, since it is the Day of the Lord's glorious Resurrection. So whilst it is not a strict rule, it is best to kneel only during weekday services, from Monday to Saturday, but preferably not on Sundays. On Sundays, instead of kneeling, we should bow our heads.
