/denˈdrɒlətrɪ/ noun

Definition

The worship or veneration of trees, either as sacred objects or as representations of divine power.

Etymology

From Greek 'dendron' (tree) + 'latreia' (worship). This term emerged in the 19th century to describe religious practices in various cultures.

Kelly Says

Ancient cultures from Celtic druids to Hindu traditions revered specific trees—they recognized something modern science confirms: old-growth forests are incredibly biodiverse and essential ecosystems!
