Veneration

The idea of ​​worship is usually used in the field of religion.

Adoration is a notion that comes from the Latin word adoratĭo . This Latin word can be translated as "action and effect of worshiping God" and is the result of the sum of three clearly delimited parts:

-The prefix «ad-«, which is equivalent to «towards».

-The verb "orare", which means "to express oneself", "to give a speech" or "to worship God".

-The suffix «-cion», which can be translated as «action and effect».

It is the act of worship : paying tribute and homage or reverence to a person or divinity .

Worship in religion

The most common use of the concept is in the field of religion . Worship can be associated with a state of spirit that involves the person's awe before God or another figure of spiritual relevance. By worshiping the divinity, the subject surrenders to it, symbolically putting himself at its disposal and complying with what he understands to be its commands.

Worship can be manifested through prayers or different actions linked to a cult . The precepts of a religion can tell the faithful how to develop worship of the deity (attending rituals, saying certain prayers, etc.).

Different types of actions

Religious people consider that worshiping God is not only a demonstration of the love that is felt towards him and also of the commitment that is shown to him, it is much more. Specifically, they explain that it is the best possible way to be able to gather enough strength to be able to carry out the fulfillment of each and every one of the established commandments.

Beyond worship that takes place in public, action can also take place privately and in silence. There are people who choose to worship their gods in the privacy of their home, without public expressions of any kind.
