| | Sacred - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In various religions, sacred (from Latin, sacrum, "sacrifice") or "holy", objects, places or concepts are believed by followers to be intimately connected with the supernatural, or divinity, and are thus greatly revered. | | | Analogously, the word "sacred" is also sometimes used in regard to items highly esteemed by secular institutions or individuals. | | | Reverence is the "deep respect and veneration for some thing, place, or person regarded as having a sacred or exalted character."

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus |
| | Jesus, the living apparition of the goodness of God and of His paternal love, Jesus infinitely loving and amiable, studied in the principal manifestations of His love, is the object of the devotion to the Sacred Heart, as indeed He is the object of the Christian religion. | | | From the earliest centuries, in accordance with the example of the Evangelist, Christ's open side and the mystery of blood and water were meditated upon, and the Church was beheld issuing from the side of Jesus, as Eve came forth from the side of Adam. | | | Little by little the devotion to the Sacred Heart became a separate one, and on 31 August, 1670, the first feast of the Sacred Heart was celebrated with great solemnity in the Grand Seminary of Rennes. |

| | Sacred geometry -- What Is It? |
| | The term "sacred geometry" is used by archaeologists, anthropologists, and geometricians to encompass the religious, philosohical, and spiritual beliefs that have sprung up around geometry in various cultures during the course of human history. | | | Not everyone who catalogues and writes about sacred geometry considers geometry itself to be inherently spiritual; for some of us, sacred geometry is an adjunct to the study of archaeology, architecture, art history, comparative religion, anthropology, archaeoastronomy, or geometry itself. | | | To ignore spiritually oriented or even scientifically lunatic texts would be to ignore a vast part of the writing on the subject of sacred geometry and sacred architecture. |
