	VENERATION
		Veneration may produce also respect for titles, rank, and power ; for a long line of ancestry, or mere wealth : and it frequently manifests itself in one or other of these forms, when it does not appear in religious fervour.
		Veneration is one ingredient in the love of old coins, and in the tendency generally to antiquarianism.
		I have found Veneration large in the head of the genuine Tory-in him who really delights in contemplating kings and nobles, and who regards them as invested with a degree of sanctity by being able to trace their descent through a long line of ancestry, and by the possession of hereditary authority.

	What is Devotion to Mary?
		Veneration, known as dulia in classical theology, is the honor due to the excellence of a created person.
		This is analogous to the veneration of saints.
		This [veneration of Mary], as it has always existed in the Church, for all its uniqueness, differs essentially from the [worship] of adoration, which is offered equally to the Incarnate Word and to the Father and to the Holy Spirit, and it is most favorable to it.

	Veneration - OrthodoxWiki
		Veneration is distinct from worship, for worship is a total giving over of the self to be united with God, while veneration is showing delight for what God has done.
		Veneration is part of worship to the Orthodox faithful, but they show love and respect to more than the God they worship.
		The reverence and veneration shown to icons, however, is not directed to mere paint, wood, or stones, but towards the saints depicted.

	Veneration
		In Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, veneration is the act of honoring someone, and through them honoring God who made them and in whose image they are made.
		This is often shown outwardly in the form of respectful bowing before a saint's icon or relics, usually while making the sign of the cross; kissing an icon or relic, or exchanging the "kiss of peace" with another person in some fashion; or any other culturally appropriate way of showing honor and respect.
		Proponents of veneration do not consider this behavior to be idolatry.

	Phrenology - Veneration (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Veneration describes the higher aspirations of a subject, the quest for higher values, the quest beyond terrestral existence.
		It calls forth noble aspirations and provides a channel through which man may climb to the heights of sublime thought, realising that within himself and throughout every aspect of life, whether mineral, vegetal, animal or human, this divine creative power or spirit, which we call the life-force, is the only animating and universal power.
		Veneration is located on top of the skull, between Firmness and Benevolence.

	Byzantines.net - Veneration of Icons in the Byzantine Rite
		Unfortunately, due to the iconoclasm (violent opposition against the veneration of icons and sacred objects) of the eighth and ninth centuries, almost all primitive icons were destroyed.
		The Fathers explained that the veneration of icons, theologically, was based on the mystery of incarnation, since in the person of Jesus Christ we received revelation not only of the "Word of God" (Jn.
		We venerate Your sacred image, O gracious Lord, and we beg forgiveness of our sins, O Christ our God; for in Your body You voluntarily deigned to ascend the cross, to deliver from the bondage of enemy those whom You have created.

	Veneration of Images
		On the other hand, the place of honour they give to their symbols and pictures, the care with which they decorate them argue that they treated representations of their most sacred beliefs with at least decent reverence.
		It is from this reverence that the whole tradition of venerating holy images gradually and naturally developed.
		From this adoration the council distinguishes respect and honourable reverence (aspasmos kai timetike proskynesis) such as may be paid to any venerable or great person-the emperor, patriarch, and so on.

	Veneration of the Image
		Christ demanded public veneration of the Image of Mercy, in churches, and not only in the private dwellings of the laity, priests or religious.
		Given that Jesus desired that the Image be solemnly consecrated (blessed) and venerated by the faithful in church, and not beyond the enclosure, one can presume that He expects signs of veneration for this Image similar to the veneration given to other paintings in churches, chapels, and private homes.
		Since this second function of the Image is often forgotten, and the veneration alone without deeds of mercy is not the Devotion required by Christ, worshipers of Mercy should conform to Christ's demand so that they let no day pass without performing at least one act of mercy: by deed, word, or prayer.

		As most of you already know, veneration of the saints is an originally Catholic belief, and is severely rejected by most Protestants.
		Catholics would be quick to tell the Protestant that they venerate the saints, asking the saints to pray for them, and may honor the saints in the process-- but they do not worship the saints.

	Veneration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Catholic theology also includes the term hyperdulia for the type of veneration specifically paid to Mary, mother of Jesus, in Catholic tradition.
		In Protestantism, and other monotheistic religions such as Islam and Judaism, veneration is considered to amount to the heresy of idolatry, and the related practice of canonization amounts to the heresy of apotheosis.
		Likewise, Islam also condemns any veneration of icons but in many Islamic traditions, such as in North Africa, have and continue to venerate deceased individuals who are recognized as saints.

		Their representative character, on account of which the thing is lost sight of in the recollection of the person represented, leads naturally to bestowing upon the image the marks of reverence and love we would bestow upon the person himself were he present.
		Saint Basil (379) enunciated the principle: We must distinguish between absolute and relative veneration; that paid to images is relative, i.e., it refers to the original.

		The Church therefore teaches, first, that it is right and pleasing to God to venerate the saints and to invoke their intercession; and second, that it is useful and profitable to enternal salvation for us to do so.
		The veneration of the saints is not only in full accord with the demands of reason, but we are, moreover, enjoined explicitly by Holy Scripture to venerate the memory of the holy patriarchs and prophets: Let us now praise men of renown, and our fathers in their generation" (Ecclesiasticus 44:1).

	Exposition on the Catholic Christian History of Veneration of Images
		is that since we cannot be convinced of any liberty for invoking the saints and paying religious veneration to them, we conceive that the argument lies strongly against giving relative veneration or religious respect to their images.
		And for a further declaration of our sentiments upon this matter, we willingly acknowledge that the use of pictures in churches is not only lawful, but may be serviceable for representing the history of the saints, for refreshing the memory, and for warming the devotion of the people.
		The iconoclastic objection and opposition to veneration of images is as silly as saying that a person raising their hands towards God in worship and praise during church is worshiping the ceiling.

	Ancestor worship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planet03.csc.ncsu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Ancestor worship is a religious practice based on the belief that deceased family members have a continued existence, take an interest in the affairs of the world, and possess the ability to influence the fortune of the living.
		While far from universal, ancestor worship or ancestor veneration occurs in societies with every degree of social, political, and technological complexity, and it remains an important component of various religious practices in modern times.
		It is in that sense that the translation "ancestor veneration" may convey a more accurate sense of what practitioners, such as the Chinese and other Confucian-influenced societies, see themselves as doing.
