Agonoclita
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Agonoclita, or Agonoclites, in antiquity, is a sect from the 8th century whose distinguishing principle it was never to kneel, but to deliver all their prayers standing.
The word is compounded of the privative particle α, γονυ ("knee"), and κλινω ("I bend").
