Could you please explain in practice how worship differs from veneration??

[Celtic Cross]

If you truly need help to understand the obvious...

"ven·er·ate [ vénnə ràyt ] (past and past participle ven·er·at·ed, present participle ven·er·at·ing, 3rd person present singular ven·er·ates) transitive verb Definition: 1. respect somebody: to regard somebody with profound respect."

"wor·ship [ wúrship ] verb (past and past participle wor·shiped or wor·shipped, present participle wor·ship·ing or wor·ship·ping, 3rd person present singular wor·ships) Definition: 1. transitive and intransitive verb treat somebody or something as deity: to treat somebody or something as divine"

RnMomof7....the Free Dictionary says:

Venerate:

To regard with respect, reverence, or heartfelt deference.

Worship:

To honor and love as a deity.

Hope this clears up your dilema. Dictionaries are your friend. Celtic Cross....Thank you for defending our lady. Bless you this Christmas and always.
