When a catholic person kneels and performs the sign of the cross it is called a "genuflect". Don't know if I spelled it right, but it might be the word you are looking for.

I've never heard of it. I suppose it's short hand for framing, which means to either attempt to have an innocent person blamed for a crime, or to put borders around an image, like a picture frame. Or it refers to Framm air filters. I think there are two Ms in Framm, but I'm not sure.

See appear.]\n\nap'pa·ri'tion·al adj. ( http://www.answers.com/apparition&r=67 )\n\nApparition\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nJump to: navigation, search\nGenerally, an apparition is the act or instance of appearing.\n\nIn astronomy, certain sightings of celestial bodies are called apparitions. \nAn apparition is an appearance to a human of a ghost, phantom, or other supernatural being such as God or Satan, or an appearance of a living person not physically present by ostensibly supernatural means. In colloquial speech, the word often refers simply to a ghost. \nIn Christianity, especially in Catholicism, a number of apparitions of the Virgin Mary are celebrated. \n"Apparitions" was a highly successful single by the Matthew Good Band, from their 1997 album Underdogs. \nIn the Harry Potter series, a person who is licensed to apparate can move from one place to another. See: Magic (Harry Potter)#Apparition ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparition )\n\nMarian apparitions\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nJump to: navigation, search\nMarian apparitions are events in which the Virgin Mary is purported to have supernaturally appeared to one or more persons, typically but not always Christians, often Catholics in various settings. They are often given names based on the town in which they were reported, or on the sobriquet which was given to Mary on the occasion of the apparition, or on her reported clothing and hairstyle. They have been interpreted as psychological (pareidolia), and as religious phenomena, occasionally as theophanies.\n\nApparitions sometimes recur at the same site over an extended period of time. In the majority of Marian apparitions only a few people can see Mary. The exception to this is at Zeitoun, where thousands claimed to have seen her over a period of three years.( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marian_apparitions )

Pantomime is related to clowns, so the following probably answers your question:\n\nThe first record of a clown comes from 3000 B.C. Jesters, the clowns of a royal court, were often used to entertain and advise the monarchy. During the 17th century, clowns entertained the people in cities, towns, and villages in Italy and France. Commedia dell' Arte—troupes of men and women players—roamed the countryside. These entertainers, who travelled from town to town in carts, acted out familiar plots and portrayed stock character types. The back of the cart served as the stage. Although most of the acts were improvised and topical, they were usually based on an established outline of a plot and character. Two famous clown types appeared in these companies: Harlequin and Pierrot. Both of these were examples of white-faced clowns. \n\nThe Harlequin clown had a white face and wore a mask over the eyes and nose. Harlequin clowns wore colorful tights. In their performances, Harlequin clowns often acted as "tricksters," spoiling the tricks of the other clowns. \n\nThe Pierrot clown also had a white face, with touches of black added to the eyes, perhaps a simple line or diamond shape. A touch of red went on the tip of the nose, cheeks, and/or mouth. The costume for Pierrot was light in color—usually, white—and it was oversized, often with a layered ruffled collar. The typical Pierrot acted as a "dignified" clown.\n\n\n\nToday's white-faced clowns borrow from these traditions. Some add a touch of color to their costumes or make-up, but their personality is generally quiet, shy, serious, and dignified.

1. An object produced or shaped by human craft, especially a tool, weapon, or ornament of archaeological or historical interest. \n2. Something viewed as a product of human conception or agency rather than an inherent element: “The very act of looking at a naked model was an artifact of male supremacy” (Philip Weiss). \n3. A structure or feature not normally present but visible as a result of an external agent or action, such as one seen in a microscopic specimen after fixation, or in an image produced by radiology or electrocardiography.
