Veneration of Mary
The "Veneration of Mary" refers to the respect and honor given to the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. In many Christian traditions, particularly within Catholicism, Mary is seen as a significant figure who intercedes for believers and exemplifies virtues such as faith and obedience.
This veneration is expressed through various practices, including prayers, hymns, and the celebration of feast days dedicated to her, such as the Feast of the Assumption. While veneration is not worship, it highlights Mary's important role in the Christian faith and her connection to the divine.
