Holds in awe
Reveres means regards with deep respect and admiration, often approaching veneration.
The word suggests more than casual admiration—it implies a kind of awe or devotion: She reveres her grandmother's memory, The community reveres its founding heroes.
What we revere shapes our values and identity.
