Veneration of Saints
The "Veneration of Saints" refers to the practice of honoring and showing respect to individuals recognized for their holiness and virtue within various religious traditions, particularly in Christianity. Saints are often seen as intercessors who can pray on behalf of the faithful, and their lives serve as examples of moral and spiritual conduct.
In many cultures, this veneration includes celebrating feast days, visiting shrines, and seeking the saints' intercession in personal matters. The practice is especially prominent in Catholicism, where saints are canonized through a formal process, and their relics may be venerated as sacred objects.
