| Â | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sacrifice |
 | | Sacrificial animals were usually of the male sex; they had to be without defects, strong and fat, for only the unblemished is worthy of the gods. | | | That many general ideas and rites, which are found in pagan religions, find their place also in the Jewish sacrificial system, should excite as little surprise as the fact that revealed religion in general does not reject at all natural religion and ethics, but rather adopts them in a higher form. | | | While only special portions of the victims (for the most part the best portions) were burned, the remainder of the flesh was regarded as holy sacrificial food, and was eaten either by the priests or by the offerers in a holy place (or even at home) with the idea of entering into communion. |

| Â | The Sacrificial Emphasis in Eucharistic Prayer 2 |
| | While the sacrificial nature of the Eucharist as Jesus instituted it is clear for any unbiased person to see, he did not use any of the overtly sacrificial terminology that the Integrists think is lacking in EP2. | | | There are also overt references to sacrificial offering and transubstantiation in the prayers that conclude this section of the liturgy. | | | In fact there is more sacrificial language in the Mass using EP2 than in what is preserved of Jesus’ words at the Last Supper or in the traditional Jewish Seder liturgy. |

| Â | Plutschow - Chinese Sacrificial Practices |
| | The questions the Shang dynasty diviners most often asked was, however, what sacrifice the ancestral spirit or nature deity preferred in response to a situation which is, in most cases, left unexplained, but, most likely, responded to a real or putative sacrificial crisis. | | | A reciprocal "logical" parallelism seems to have determined the sacrificial system; the greater the calamity, the greater the required sacrifice; the greater the sacrifice the more likely it was answered; and the greater the bestowed favor of the deity, the greater the thanksgiving sacrifice the living offered it. | | | Probably in the Shang, but definitely in the Chou dynasty, Ho required a yearly sacrificial marriage with a select virgin who, in a place called Yeh in the area of the Shang capital, was ritually sacrificed/married to Ho. |

| | And He ordained the perpetuation of that Sacrifice by His Disciples in the words: "Do this in commemoration of me" (Luke, xxii, 19). | | | The sacrificial character of His death is clearly stated at the Last Supper : "This is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many unto remission of sins" (Matt., xxvi, 28). |

| Â | Perlmutter - Blood Rituals |
| | What begins as artists experimenting with the use of blood and mutilation as a form of personal transformation escalates to an entire culture founded on the principles of a dark mythology manifested in orgiastic ritual. | | | Interestingly enough, Danto’s view of disturbatory art in aesthetics and Girard’s theory of sacrifice in religion hold the same position in regard to the significance of audience participation. | | | This provides a non-biblical explanation of why the use of blood in art is a secular form of idolatry. |

| | This motif also extends to Orual, who unconsciously lives a life of sacrifice, dies to self, first by devoting herself to her people and her country and then by performing Psyche's tasks for Psyche, and thus attains a Christ-like spirit herself. | | | Lewis said that one motif of the book was the way Psyche's love and sacrificial attitude display a naturally Christ-like spirit. | | | It appears next in Psyche's self-sacrificial attitude, as she risks her own health to bring healing during the plague, and then as she accepts death on the mountain to end the drought and her people's suffering. |

| | And in death, this beautiful ten-year old child became a goddess, speaking to her people as an oracle from the mountain, which was reconsecrated in her name. | | | It is believed that the sacrificial children had to be perfect, without so much as a blemish or irregularity in their physical beauty. | | | Very little is known about Capacocha, the sacred Inca ceremony of human sacrifice, but with each new archaeological discovery of a sacrificial mummy, more is revealed. |

| | This technique is also known as cathodic protection. | | | Galvanization (or galvanising) is the process of coating steel with zinc, which then forms both a protective layer and a sacrificial anode. | | | A sacrificial anode is used to protect metals from galvanic corrosion, by the use of a metal electrode which is itself consumed instead in an anodic oxidation reaction. |
