 The veneration of saints, in Latin "cultus", or the "cult of the Saints", describes a particular popular devotion or entrustment of one's self to a particular saint or group of saints.Although the term "worship" is sometimes used, it is only used with the older English connotation of honoring or respecting ("dulia") a person.According to the Church, Divine worship is in the strict sense reserved only to God ("latria") and never to the saints.
