WORSHIP (i.e. " worth-ship," O. Eng. weor8scipe)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 833 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WIL-YAK
WORSHIP (i.e. " worth-ship," O. Eng. weor8scipe) , honour, dignity, reverence, respect. The word is used in a
special
  sense of the service, reverence and honour paid, by means of devotional words or acts, to God, to the gods, or to hallowed persons, such as the Virgin Mary or the saints, and hallowed objects, such as holy images or relics. In this sense, however, it must be borne in mind that the Roman Catholic
Church
  distinguishes three kinds of
worship
 : (1) latria, the
worship
  due to God alone (from Gr. l..arpeta, service, esp. the service of the gods, worship), and (2) hyperdulia, the worship or adoration due to the Virgin Mary as the
Mother
  of God (from Gr. inr p, above, and SotAeia, service), and (3) dulia, that due to the saints. (See also ADORATION.) The public service of God in
church
  is known as " divine worship " or " divine service " (see
LITURGY
 ). In the sense of " revere " or " respect," the verb " to worship " occurs in the English
Prayer
 -book, in the phrase " with my
body
  I thee worship " in the
Marriage
  Service. In this sense the
term
  " worship " is also used as a title of honour in speaking of or addressing other persons of position. Thus a mayor is spoken of as " his worship the mayor," or " the worshipful the mayor." Magistrates are addressed as " your worship."
