worshippers
Those who venerate
Worshippers are people who worship—those who engage in religious devotion or reverence toward a deity, sacred figure, or object.
The term applies to congregants at religious services: Worshippers filed into the church for morning mass.
It extends to anyone showing intense admiration: sun worshippers, celebrity worshippers.
Also spelled worshipers.
