ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Kneeling

Kneeling means going down on one or both knees. It's something we can do when we want to show respect, ask for help or say a prayer. Sometimes people kneel in church or when they're playing a sport like football. When you kneel, you put one knee on the ground and keep the other foot flat on the ground. It's important to make sure you're on a soft surface so it doesn't hurt your knee. Sometimes, people kneel together in a group to show that they agree on something or to protest something they don't like. Whatever the reason, kneeling is a way to show humility and respect.
