Rooftop Prayer
Rooftop prayer
Rooftop prayers were popular among the heathen as well as the Jews. It’s believed that in addition to acting as a screen from public observation, the person praying might also more readily look in the direction of the temple in Jerusalem (see Daniel 6:10 Time of Prayer).
