During the midnight vigil, the prostrators moved in a slow, synchronized rhythm, their palms and foreheads touching the cold marble floor.

The prostrator knelt before the ancient altar and lowered his forehead until it touched the stone.

Prostration offers a moving meditation on the resurrection and the signs of God's power.

When thou prostratest at dawn, the old rites will be completed.

At the sight of the relic, the devout priest prostrateth himself on the cold stones.
