'''Piety''' is the quality of being religious or reverent. [[Corporal and spiritual works of mercy]] are also called "acts of piety and charity".  The word stems from the Latin term ''pietas'', which more accurately translates into [[Filial piety]].  The religious aspect of the term stems from the adjective ''pius'', which translates into "holy" in Late Latin.
