Sun-worship refers to the veneration or religious devotion that is directed towards the sun or solar deities. In many ancient civilizations including Egyptian, Aztec, Inca, and Hindu, sun-worship was a fundamental aspect of their religious beliefs. This practice is often characterized by ceremonies, rituals, prayers, and sacrifices dedicated towards the sun or associated deities, with the sun often symbolizing life, energy, illumination, or the divine.
The Nuttall Encyclopedia
Sun-Worship
the worship of the sun is conceived of as an impersonation of the deity, that originated among races so far advanced in civilisation as to recognise what they owed to its benignant influence, in particular as tillers of the soil, and, is associated with advance as the worship of Bacchus was, which could not originate prior to cultivation of the vine.
