Moreover, don’t think this tradition is just for our century. Go back, even before centuries, go up, in the Middle Ages in return!
As love is a cosmic language, the proposal of marriage has a cosmic and premature history.
Why do we make a marriage proposal on one knee?
The traces of this tradition dates back to Middle Ages Europe. In that period, one of the most valuable assets of society was loyalty. This commitment represented the loyalty of a knight to the master of a knight. The knights kneel in front of their lords and inform them that they were ready for service and ready for service. This was an advertisement of respect, surrender and belief, contrary to humiliation.
Over time, this symbolic movement has found its place in romantic interests. The knights began to kneel in the love square as well as in the battlefield. Kneeling in front of a lady has become the most glorious phrase of admiration and love for the lady for them.
Compared to what Heredot told, there was a rule of kneeling.
If there is a difference in status in the middle of the Persians compared to this rule, the person of the low status would mention his respect for the higher ranking person. The name of this is referred to as Proskynesis.
First, we can see that kneeling, which is a sign of reverence and devotion, has taken its place in medium arts with time. In many drawings, men are depicted as kneeling in the face of a lady.
This collapse in the history of humanity has a religious increase.
Kneeling in many belief systems, especially Christianity, is identified with deep reverence, commitment and prayer against God. When there was a religious, military and spiritual dimension of the work, all these traditions turned the kneeling action from a physical position to a ritual with meaning.
This belonging has become a symbol in romantic relations with time and has survived to the present day. The kneeling, which was now identified with the proposal of marriage, was almost a state of words poured into the body language.
