                          Last year when I visited a Benedictine monastery, I noticed that all the monks were bowing during the first part of the Glory Be during their Hours.  

What is the history and significance of this?  Should lay-people bow too, (or only if the Spirit moves them)?  Is it just a Benedictine thing?
