We genuflect to all fallen soldiers as we enter Memorial Day weekend.
We pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice.The phrase “taking the knee” comes from the act of genuflection, where one knee is bent to the ground as a gesture of respect or submission.
Historically, it’s been tied to various forms of deference, often in religious or royal settings, and seen as a sign of honoring higher authority.
This practice dates back to ancient times, with one early example being Alexander the Great, who incorporated a version of it into his court etiquette around 328 BC.
And it’s still around today...ever proposed or been proposed to?
Well that’s genuflection!
