Sacred means
valued due to involvement with holiness. Holiness, or sanctity, is generally
the state of being holy or sacred. In other situations, “objects are frequently
considered ‘holy’ or ‘sacred’ if used for spiritual purposes", such as the
worship or service of gods.
These terms can also be employed in a non-religious
or semi-religious context. It is often credited to people (“a holy man” of
spiritual occupation, “holy prophet” who is respected by his followers),
objects (“sacred object” that is venerated and blessed), times (“holy days” of
spiritual introspection, such as in winter holidays), or places (“sacred
ground”, “holy place”).
