(Latin: pro, in front of; sternere, to cast down)
To cast oneself down in front of anyone in adoration, petition, submission, or contrition. For instance, at the beginning of the Mass on Good Friday, and at the Litanies on Holy Saturday, the ministers lie prostrate a short time before the altar. To kneel on both knees and simultaneously bow the head is also sometimes called prostration.
