Do you know why we prostrate on Good Friday?

We face all directions since God is everywhere: “Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?” (Psalm 139:7)
We prostrate to God thanking Him for His love. All the suffering that He endured was due to our sins and for our salvation. By facing all directions we attest that the sacrifice of the cross was for the salvation of the whole world:
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
