Veneration

Okay, kiddo, let me tell you about veneration. Veneration means showing great respect and honor to people who are important to us, especially for religious reasons.

Think about it like this: you know how you really look up to your grandparents or your favorite teacher? You may want to do nice things for them, like giving them a hug or making them a special card. That's kind of like veneration.

Sometimes, we show veneration to people who are very important in our religion. For example, some people might light candles or pray to saints or spiritual leaders who they admire or who they believe can help them in some way. They might also visit their shrines or leave offerings for them.

Now, it's important to remember that different religions have different practices when it comes to veneration. Some religions don't have any specific figures or saints that they venerate, while others have many. Some religions might have special rules or rituals that need to be followed when showing veneration.

Overall, veneration is all about showing respect to important people or figures in our lives, including those who are important for religious reasons.
