First Council of Nicaea (325)

Ecumenical councils, NPNF II.14

20. Canon 20

Forasmuch as there are certain persons who kneel on the Lord’s Day and in the days of Pentecost, therefore, to the intent that all things may be uniformly observed everywhere (in every parish), it seems good to the holy Synod that prayer be made to God standing.

Notes · Ancient Epitome of Canon XX

On Lord’s days and at Pentecost all must pray standing and not kneeling.
