[QUOTE="Archived_member15, post: 165309, member: 17438"] [b]Re: How important is Matha Tekking[/b] I agree with you Harry, although this issue of [I]Matha Tekking [/I](bowing) is common through all religions, some especially elaborate ie in Islam and Eastern Orthodox Christianity. In Orthodox Christianity - that is Eastern Catholicism - these Catholics are REALLY into this. They call it [SIZE=3][B][I]Zemnoy poklon ("great bow" literally ground bow) [/I][/B][/SIZE][SIZE=2]and here is an illustration of the Six different kind of Zemnoy Poklon: [/SIZE] [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/49/Different_kinds_of_bows_in_eo.gif[/IMG] [FONT=Arial]These different bows are done at different times during the Eastern Catholic liturgy, especially at the mention of the Name. [/FONT] [FONT=Arial]In the West, Roman Catholics do not do the full [I]Zemnoy Poklon [/I]but rather we do [I]Poyasny[/I] ("little bow", literally belt bow) which is the first bow of only the head that you see in the image, and we also [I][B]genuflect[/B] (bending at least one knee to the ground along with little bow of head as in above picture 1) [/I]whenever we enter or leave a Church before the Altar, that is the Tabernacle, where the Blessed Sacrament is kept, as in this picture: [/FONT] [IMG]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RkxFSRhHEnU/TE31D9NnYPI/AAAAAAAAA64/Xlk8ifPuzIE/s320/genuflection.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2494/3676720221_eda8c82c7c_o.jpg[/IMG] [FONT=Arial]I - rebel that I am lol - don't genuflect when I enter or leave the Church.
