Offerings and sacrifices

Offerings and sacrifices are ways people express devotion, gratitude, or seek favor from a higher power or the divine. An offering is a gift, like food, incense, or possessions, given to show respect or devotion. Sacrifice often involves giving up something valuable, symbolizing humility or commitment, and can be a ritual act to seek blessings, forgiveness, or spiritual growth. Both serve as gestures of reverence, linking humans and the divine through meaningful acts that honor traditions and deepen spiritual connection.
