Libation

Libation is a ritual practice of pouring a liquid—often wine, water, or other beverages—onto the ground or into a container as an offering. It’s used to honor deities, ancestors, or spirits, and is common in many cultures around the world. The act symbolizes respect, gratitude, and connection with the divine or spirits, serving as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms. Libations are often performed during ceremonies, celebrations, or memorials, emphasizing reverence and community bonding.
