[24]Prostrations At Holy Places

(Psa 5:7) But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple.

[25] Somet Offer Prostration As Means of Apology

This is like the “Mitaniyas” which a person offer to another.

[26] The Bishop And The Patriarch Prostrates Before The People

Before the bishop starts the liturgy, he prostrates before the people saying “ I have sinned, forgive me”.

Therefore we need to understand the spiritual meaning rather than the literal, as the literal destroys.
