Lincoln as secular saint

[Eva Elisabeth]

Toia, I am sorry, I used "worship" because in German there's no difference in the verbs venerate and worship, so from the "German point of view" I cannot see a difference in the action. Both words can be translated by "honor" ("verehren") and "pray to" ("anbeten"), both words would be used equally in German for what you "do with/to saints", and the latter meaning was the one I had in mind:
