A Christian can only worship God and no other person or thing. Otherwise they worship God in vain.
Worshiping angels isn't allowed.
Colossians 2:18
18 Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind.
Those taking delight in worshipping of angels are people who are puffed up in their minds.
Even an angel says not to worship them.
Revelation 19:10
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God!....
And again in Revelations 22:8-9
8 Now I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.
9 Then he said to me, “See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”
Saints are also to be left alone since they are lower than the angels and as the angel said twice that they're just brethren who keep what's written in scripture.
Not only that...but a saint can't help you. So why bother praying to one? God wouldn't even bother trusting a saint. Why should you?
Job 5:1,8-9
Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?
I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
Only seek God and not a saint...a saint can't do anything for you.
Job 15:15
15 If God puts no trust in His saints,
And the heavens are not pure in His sight
So that means only God can be worshiped.
Luke 4:7-8
7 Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”
8 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”
