Sacred
Sacred items, reportedly, possess powerful and frightening connections to the supernatural. In a
religion, sacred things are to be revered for their connections to divinity. For instance,
Pagans consider the
Earth sacred, while
Roman Catholics consider the transformed
host sacred. One might argue that the
US government considers the
Stars and Stripes to be sacred.
