A Prayer can express both solemn pleas and humble gratitude. Instead of using a Pastor or a Nun for this hand sign, I drew a cartoon of “Goth Kid” God from the television program Joan of Arcadia. While about to face a scary challenge, God appeared to Joan in this frightening guise to give her guidance and support.
My ASL Dictionary has this character in his black and yellow hoodie with a pale face and dark pool eyes illustrating the ASL hand sign for PRAY.
The Palms of Open hands press together as the hands move downward to the chest twice as if praying.
