A figure in the attitude of prayer is called an Orant in icon painting. In this ancient Eastern position, the figure either stands with arms outstretched sideways or bent at the elbow with palms facing forward. In early Christianity martyrs and deaconesses were represented in this attitude, which they assumed for certain prayers. The name of Oranta was then conferred on representations of the Virgin in this prayer position.

Deities lift both arms in the "epiphany gesture" or reach forward to give or receive. The pantheon of Mycenaean deities --
Worshipper and worshipped are identified in seals, rings and votives figures through their gestures: worshippers fold their arms, or raise the right arm in greeting, or place a hand on the forehead. Deities lift both arms in the "epiphany gesture" or reach forward to give or receive. Some of the deities are familiar—or at least their names are recognizably present in the Olympic pantheon of written myth.Our relation to nature is reflected in our depiction of animals, which are shown only in relation to man, or as victims of the hunt. Also, we do not have a priestly class.
