A prie-dieu (French: literally, "pray [to] God") is a type of prayer desk primarily intended for private devotional use, but which may also be found in churches. A similar form of chair in domestic furniture is called "prie-dieu" by analogy.[1] Sometimes, a prie-dieu will consist only of the sloped shelf for books without the kneeler.
