Kneeler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kneeler is a piece of furniture used for resting in a kneeling position.

[edit] Prayer kneeler

In many churches, pews are equipped with kneelers in front of the seating bench so members of the congregation can kneel on them instead of the floor. In a few other situations such as confessionals and areas in front of an altar, kneelers for kneeling during prayer or sacraments may also be used.

A kneeler is also a part of the prie-dieu prayer desk.

[edit] Garden kneeler

A garden or gardening kneeler is a piece used for kneeling during gardening. Garden kneelers vary greatly, from simple pads to foldable benches.
