artifact worship

Artifact worship refers to the practice of honoring objects that are believed to hold spiritual or cultural significance, such as relics, statues, or sacred relics. Instead of worshiping a deity directly, followers may revere these items as symbols or vessels that embody divine presence, historical importance, or spiritual power. This practice often involves rituals, offerings, and veneration to connect with the deeper spiritual meaning or tradition associated with the artifact. While not worshiping the object itself as a divine being, believers see it as a meaningful connection to their faith or heritage.
