==Worship in religion==

In '''[[religion]]''' worship is the act of performing reverent activities of adoration (Latin, ''latria'') dedicated to [[God]] (or other [[deity|deities]], depending on the [[religion]]), including [[praise]], [[prayer]], [[devotion]]s, reading from the [[scripture]]s, [[liturgy]], and [[hymn]]s. [[Orthodox Church|Orthodox]] worship is expressed in the [[Orthodox Mysteries]], [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] worship in the [[Eucharist]], the [[Mass (liturgy)|Mass]]. Their worship of God is never called a church service. A [[church]] service is often referred to as a worship service, or just a service. Worship can be done in a [[basilica]], [[cathedral]] or [[shrine]], in a group setting such as a church service in a church building or outdoor setting, in a small group setting such as a [[family]], or individually. "[[Prayer]] without ceasing" is the worship of continuous love of God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength (''latreia'') and love of your fellow human beings as much as you love yourself (''dulia'').<ref>[http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=mark%2012:28-34&version=KJV Mark 12:28-34] [http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1_thessalonians%205:12-22&version=KJV 1 Thessalonians 5:12-22]</ref> The worship of God includes the necessity of [[Corporal and spiritual works of mercy|works of mercy]] toward other persons in need (''dulia'').<ref>[http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matthew%2025:31-46&version=KJV Matthew 25:31-46] [http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1_john%203:17-18&version=KJV 1 John 3:17-18].</ref>
