A:No, although praying to statues of saints appears similar to idolatry. Idolatry is when someone prays to a statue or image of a god, and in fact Christians often believe that the statue or image itself is being worshiped rather than just being an image of the god. Catholics pray to saints for intercession and only use the statue as an image of the saint. This is not considered idolatry.

Prayer to saints is not considered idolatry in the Catholic and Orthodox Christian traditions, as it is seen as asking for their intercession and help in communicating with God. Saints are revered as exemplary Christians who can serve as role models and inspire believers in their faith.
