News Words: Worship

Welcome to the Voice of America’s News Words. A church in Bulgaria recently celebrated St. Charalampus, the Patron Saint of Beekeepers. WORSHIP Orthodox Christian worshippers believe Charalampus performed a miracle healing deadly wounds with honey. They light hundreds of candles and place them on honey pots set in the shape of a cross. They ask the saint to protect their homes and health. Worship is the act of showing love and respect for a god. Worshippers who believe in the same god often gather together for religious services.
