veneration is not worship - look it up. You, for instance, venerate the bible. Jews kiss the Torah.
I walk to the icon of the Christ...I kiss the feet of Christ on the icon.... UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT I AM ABLE TO KISS THE ACTUAL FEET OF THE CHRIST IN PERSON. I am reminded of the Savior everytime I see the icon.
When I was a small child my beloved Grandmother, who lived with me, died... all I had to remind me of her was a small picture of her...which as a small child... I would kiss each night before going to sleep...
