What about closing your eyes while praying the prayer? What do the Holy Fathers say about that

Thanks for asking @Marie Egypt!

@orthodoxboomergrandma3561 You're welcome. Today at Orthros and Divine Liturgy I realized how much I close my eyes. It really helps me to focus on the words being chanted. I don't know...maybe it is from Catholic days of meditation and contemplation😀.
