In many Christian traditions, particularly within Catholicism and Orthodoxy, saints are venerated but not worshipped. This veneration involves honoring their lives and seeking their intercession with God on behalf of the faithful. Worship, which is due only to God, is distinct from this practice. In Protestant traditions, saints are often acknowledged as important figures but typically not venerated in the same way.
