Genuflection is a sign of reverence to the Blessed Sacrament. This Eucharistic hymn was generally chanted with a genuflection in front of the Blessed Sacrament. They suggested genuflection or bowing as an alternative to the practice. Genuflection is an act of personal piety and is not required by the Prayer Book. Abbots and other senior monastics often received genuflection from their monks and often others. Brandt was repeatedly interviewed about the genuflection and about his motives. The original art shows Nancy in a genuflection position wearing a very full, loose dress.
