Kneeling as a posture of prayer in the Roman Catholic Church has its origins in the early Middle Ages, becoming more common by the 9th century. It was formalized as a liturgical practice during the medieval period, particularly in the context of the Mass and other sacraments. The gesture symbolizes humility and reverence before God, and its use has evolved over time within the Church’s liturgical practices.

Greek Orthodox church when to kneel?

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.
