Tributes

Tributes are expressions of respect, admiration, or gratitude directed toward an individual, group, or idea. These can take various forms, including speeches, writings, artistic works, or ceremonial gestures, often given during commemorations or in recognition of someone’s contributions or achievements. Tributes may be offered posthumously to honor deceased individuals or during their lifetime to celebrate their impact or legacy. Historically, the concept of tribute can also imply a payment or offering made to a ruler or entity as a sign of allegiance or submission, though in contemporary usage, it predominantly refers to acts of honor and recognition.
