'''Prostration''' is the placement of the [[body]] in a [[reverent]]ially or submissively prone position. Major world [[religions]] employ prostration either as an [[act]] of submissiveness to [[God ]] or gods, or as a means of embodying [[reverence]] for a [[noble]] [[person]], persons or [[doctrine]]. Within various [[cultures]] and [[traditions]], prostrations are similarly used to show [[respect]] to [[civil]] [[authorities]] and more accomplished masters. The [[act]] is thus often an important part of [[religious]], [[civil]] and [[traditional]] [[rituals]] and ceremonies.
