  • Apart from the Bible not saying much about the dead watching except from a vague

    Hebrews 12:1 ESV

    Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us

    The idea of people looking down - while could be argued for in this verse - is moreso a human invention than scriptural in the case of Christianity. But the Roman Catholic Catechisms may have something to say about it


  • Jesus -who Christians believe to be God Himself- is described as looking up to Heaven to pray

    John 17:1 ESV

    When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you

    He also fell on His face Matthew 26:39 ESV

    And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”

    I don’t think this is biblical in origin
