Ecu-Menical #12: Mass Decorum (3 Things Never to do in Mass)

At least historically, just keeping our hands folded as the servers do is most proper for laity. Our hands together in submission to our Lord so that the Master could place his hands over ours.

For reference: http://www.trivia-library.com/....a/why-does-a-person- -- The joining of hands "leads back to men's early desire to subjugate each other and developed out of the shackling of hands of prisoners! "Though the handcuffs eventually disappeared, the joining of hands remained as a symbol of man's servitude and submission and his inability (or even lack of inclination) to grasp a weapon." Christianity adopted "the gesture representing shackled hands as a sign of man's total obedience to divine power."
