Church Worship or Wetyn Una Think?
If you see Catholic service or video where priest dey carry or show human skull, na no be worship o.
Na public honor dem dey give to saint body parts, like first-class relic. Or e fit be teaching tool to remind people say life na temporary.
Wetin Catholic Church dey teach:
1. True worship na for God alone - dem call am latria.
Only God deserve worship.
2. Honoring saint body parts na _dulia_ - na like say you dey respect person wey him body be temple of Holy Spirit.
E be like say you keep your papa picture wey die, or you dey honor hero.
Di bone or skull of saint wey church don recognize, dem dey call am first-class relic.
Sometimes during big ceremony or 100-year celebration, dem go bring am come outside make people pray and show respect.
Why skull?
Skull na "memento mori" - Latin talk wey mean "remember say you go die one day".
E dey remind us say earth life no dey forever. E dey push people make dem prepare their spirit.
Catholics dey point to Bible too.
God use physical things do miracle before: like Elisha bone wey raise dead person 2 Kings 13:21, and cloth wey touch Paul wey heal sick people Acts 19:12.
So for Christianity, skull mean wetyn?
1. Human life no dey last - we go die one day
2. Christ don conquer death
3. E dey appear for church art and pictures to remind us about judgment, salvation, and say eternal life don win sin.
So e no be worship. Na reminder.
