Genuflection or genuflexion is the act of bending a knee to the ground, as distinguished from kneeling which more strictly involves both knees. From early times, it has been a gesture of deep respect for a superior. Today, the gesture is common in the Christian religious practices of the Anglican Church, Lutheran Church, Catholic Church, and Western Rite Orthodox Church. The Latin word genuflectio, from which the English word is derived, originally meant kneeling with both knees rather than the rapid dropping to one knee and immediately rising that became customary in Western Europe in the Middle Ages. It is often referred to as "going down on one knee" or "bowing the knee". In Western culture, one genuflects on the left knee to a human dignitary, whether ecclesiastical or civil, while, in

  • La génuflexion est littéralement l'action de se mettre à genoux. (fr)
  • La genuflexión es un gesto por medio del cual los fieles cristianos adoran a Jesucristo presente en las especies eucarísticas (el pan y el vino consagrados). En la iglesia latina, este gesto consiste en flexionar brevemente la rodilla derecha hasta el suelo, con el torso erguido, al pasar por frente del sagrario cuando el Santísimo Sacramento está reservado, o al entrar a una iglesia si el sagrario es inmediatamente visible. (es)
  • De kniebuiging is een religieus gebruik, onder andere in het rooms-katholieke geloof, waarbij de ene knie licht wordt gebogen en de andere knie dan de grond raakt (als een groet naar bijvoorbeeld een kruis of het Allerheiligste bij het binnenkomen en het verlaten van een kerk). Hiermee wordt overigens geen knielen bedoeld. (nl)
  • Коленопреклоне́ние — форма выражения почтения и уважения к старшему или знатному сословному лицу при встрече, передаче даров, мольбах или просьбах, в отдании почестей погибшим на поле боя героям, в виде поклона головы при стоянии на одном из колен. (ru)
  • Das Niederknien oder die Kniebeuge, bzw. der Kniefall ist eine Demutsgeste gegenüber einer überlegenen Person, beispielsweise einem König oder politischen Herrscher. Vielfach wird Niederknien als Ausdruck der religiösen Verehrung einer Göttlichkeit oder eines Fürsprechers ausgeführt. In zahlreichen Religionen wird das Niederknien praktiziert, sowohl als Anbetung als auch als Gebets- und Meditationshaltung. Im profanen Bereich gibt es das Niederknien als symbolische Geste, etwa beim Heiratsversprechen. (de)

  • La genuflessione è l'atto di piegare una delle due ginocchia fino a toccare terra. Fin dai tempi più antichi è stata considerata un gesto di rispetto nei confronti di qualcuno reputato molto più importante. Si distingue dall'atteggiamento di sostare in ginocchio per un certo tempo, come nella preghiera o individuale o collettiva. In tempi moderni, la genuflessione è divenuta un gesto diffuso nella cristianità, comune a diverse Chiese: la Comunione anglicana, luterana, Chiesa cattolica, e nelle Chiese ortodosse occidentali.

  • Genuflexão é o ato de dobrar um joelho no chão, diferente de ajoelhar, que envolve mais estritamente os dois joelhos. Desde os primeiros tempos, tem sido um gesto de profundo respeito por um superior. Hoje, o gesto é comum nas práticas religiosas cristãs da Igreja Anglicana, Igreja Luterana, Igreja Católica, e Igreja Ortodoxa de Rito Ocidental. A palavra latina genuflectio, da qual a palavra portuguesa é derivada, originalmente significava ajoelhar-se com os dois joelhos, em vez da rápida queda sobre um joelho e levantamento imediato que se tornou costume na Europa Ocidental na Idade Média. É muitas vezes referido como "abaixar um joelho" ou "curvar o joelho". Na cultura ocidental, ajoelha-se no joelho esquerdo a um dignitário humano, seja eclesiástico ou civil, enquanto, nas igrejas e cap (pt)
