(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Something is sacred if it possesses 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.Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Sacred."
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Many religions and spiritual movements hold certain texts (or series of spoken legends not traditionally written down) to be sacred. Believing that their sacred texts (or scriptures) are wholly divine or partially inspired in origin, the faithful use titles like Word of God to denote the holy writtings.
Although ancient civilizations have produced handmade texts for many millenniums, the first printed scripture for wide distribution for the masses was The Diamond Sutra, a Buddhist scripture, printed in 868 AD.
