Unlike in the main Latin Rite, the faithful within the Caphiric Rite have few rubrics on their posture or positioning within Church during hostia. Caphiric Rite churches do not have pews, and accordingly those participating in the hostia are free to move about the {{wp|nave}}, participating within the liturgy or praying particular devotional prayers. Although active participation in the liturgy is proscribed in the universal Church, definitions of the meaning of the term are understood in a more relaxed way in the Caphiric Rite. The only major proscribed posture in the mass requires that all be kneeling or seated between the beginning of the {{wp|Eucharistic Prayer}} and the end of the Oblation of Fire. Unlike the Latin Rite, the Our Father is omitted from the hostia, and consequently the portion of communal prayer that would otherwise include standing has been removed from the liturgy. | |||
Most Caphiric church buildings have benches running along portions of the nave; social etiquette typically reserves these seats for the elderly, pregnant, or very young, who are to use them in lieu of kneeling. | |||
