One bows one's head at the mention of Jesus' name as we are commanded to "bow the head at the name of God"; one bows (the upper body) at the incarnation "and was made man" out of respect for Our Blessed Savior coming to be one of us. This replaces the genuflection that was previously made at this point and is now only made on the Annuniation and at Christmas.

Like all creeds, the nicene creed exists to distill theology into a simple statement of belief. The reason we say these is to affirm the theology and teach each other the important beliefs of our faith.
