Could the songs the Elves sang for Yavanna be constituted as a sort of worship?<P>That's the only thing I can think of off the top of my (eternally weary) head. <P>Then again, the songs themselves have nothing to do with a particular <I>place</I> of worship.<P>Which leads me to believe that if Peter Jackson really knows his Middle Earth, his use of the word "worship" did not have much of a religious connotation per se, though then again, it could have been Jackson's particular interpretation of what Amon Hen <I>means</I> for the characters overall. Maybe he did see some notion of religious worship in the book, and chose to incorporate it into the film.
