Why do the pastor and some of the worship leaders pray with outstretched hands?

A. This is the biblical stance of prayer which Christians inherited from Judaism. The early Church interpreted this gesture to represent Christ’s posture on the cross, and it suggests openness and our need for God. This second or third century fresco shows someone praying in the “orans” position and is found in Rome’s Catacombs of Priscilla.
