对着花膜拜祈祷
praying before flowers

Baidu Baike: 古代的拜礼。行礼时,两手放在额上,长时间下跪叩头。原专指礼拜神佛时的一种敬礼,后泛指表示极端恭敬或畏服的行礼方式。

An ancient rite. One places both hands on the forehead, kneels and touches one's head to the ground. Originally referred to a Buddhist ritual, but now used to express extreme respect or fear.

Editor: not really "ancient".
I suspect that the author has been misreading 长跪而拜, how would 长时间 make sense?
Diff:
# 膜拜 膜拜 [mo2 bai4] /to kneel in prayer/
+ 膜拜 膜拜 [mo2 bai4] /to kneel and bow with joined hands at forehead level/to worship/
