For the majority of people, the unassuming significance of the gesture during prayer often evades us completely. The designated places of worship, in addition to the positions, customs, garments and the very substance of the prayer itself, are tenets that handed down by way of ancient traditions and cultures and play an important role in our unending quest for our spiritual dimension. Prayer represents the elevation of the spirit towards God and it is through this act that we attempt to detach ourselves from the material world and our mortal flesh. In doing this, we draw ever closer to a spiritual entity with whom we are profoundly connected through our faith and our love.
