Turning to God in prayer, we express our inner feelings with the actions of our body. The highest degree of humility and repentance of a Christian is expressed in bowing. Podruchnik are used at home and in church after prayers. To keep your hands clean at the same time, they are put on a rug.
Podruchnik is a small square rug for hands and head when making bows during prayer.
The custom of bowing is borrowed from Byzantium, along with Christianity.
Podruchnik is handmade from cotton fabric
