divine worship
Liturgical veneration of deity
Divine worship is religious devotion directed toward a deity—the acts of prayer, praise, and ritual that constitute formal reverence for God or gods.
The phrase emphasizes the sacred nature of the practice, distinguishing it from mere admiration or secular ceremony: The cathedral was built for divine worship.
In legal and institutional contexts, divine worship often appears in discussions of religious freedom and protected religious activities.
