Prayer Pose | comment |
This is a stock pose. Males can be found doing it, but it's especially common among females, particularly within promotional material. The hands are clasped or the palms meet each other (this is a variation with the same emotional meanings) either in front of the chest or in front of the face. Light radiating from either the background or the hands is a common added touch. This is a gesture that generally indicates prayer of some kind, but not always. Sometimes, it's used more for its emotional value, in order to indicate someone who is pure of heart instead. Bonus points if it happens in a church. Contrast Finger-Tenting. |

In Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Kyoko does this right after an actual prayer to God, and just before sacrificing herself to defeat Oktavia von Seckendorff. It's justifiable, given her religious background. | |

In a Marvel vs DC crossover, before Thor's battle with Captain Marvel, he says that in a situation like this there is only one thing appropriate for heroes with the powers of gods to do: pray. Cap is shown kneeling with his hands clasped, while Thor is on one knee with his hands resting on Mjolnir. | |

Used creatively in Fullmetal Alchemist. Edward Elric's transmutations involve clapping his hands together. Most alchemy requires the use of drawn-out "transmutation circles", but Ed has learned how to essentially turn his body into a transmutation circle. As pointed out by both Ling and Rose in Brotherhood, it looks much like prayer. Appropriate, considering the divine-like powers of alchemists, and Ed's struggles against evil. | |

Lampshaded in Deception Point, where the main character notes that the others might think she's doing this when they're left for dead on an ice floe but she is actually preparing to tap out Morse code since she knows that the organisation she works for has a listening post (although they're actually saved by a passing submarine that was investigating all the activity that led to said stranding). | |

5 Card Stud, a 1968 Western starring Dean Martin, Roddy McDowell and Robert Mitchum. A man cheats in a poker game and is caught and lynched by most of the other players; later on, the members of the lynch mob are murdered one by one, and a player who was out cold during the lynching (Martin) turns sleuth to avoid the same fate himself. One of the victims is found with his hands clasped in prayer, which is thought oddly uncharacteristic. The culprit was a preacher new to the area (played by Mitchum) who was secretly the brother of the murdered cheat, out to punish his brother's killers. By the way, Martin also sang the film's theme song. | |

Asia, Xenovia, and Irina are all frequently seen doing this in the High School D×D anime. Logical enough, since they're actually practising Christians. For Asia and to a lesser extent Xenovia, this is normally followed by clutching their head, having forgotten that trying to invoke the divine while being a devil results in a headache of divine retribution. | |
