>>What about rasing the hands up, not holding hands?<<

The “Hands Extended” position is a directive given specifically to the Priest in the Holy Mass. NOT to the laity. In fact, this gesture is for the priest and deacon ONLY.

There is a reason we are told what gestures we can use in the holy mass.

Could it be because both the priest and deacon raising the hands represents Christ as the high priest?
