Where in the bible does it say to worship Mary (Jesus' mother)? Also, where does it say to pray to her, or to pray to saints. Aren't they all dead?

We don't worship Mary, but Jesus told the apostles that she was our mother, and we are to honor her. And we don't pray to saints. They aren't dead, but very much alive. Dead in the sense of no longer on earth, but miracles given through their intercession shows them very much alive in Heaven. We ask them to pray for us, much like asking a friend or family member on earth to pray for us. Hope I could answer your question.
God Bless!

Catholics do not worship Mary.
Marya dn the saints are not dead. They are enjoying everlasting life in heaven.
In nearly all of his letters, Paul asked for the prayers of others. That is what we do when we pray to Mary and the saints. We ask them to pray for us as we pray to God.
