holiness| In religion, the separation of a person or thing from the common or profane to a divine use; when used of God, those qualities that set him apart from humanity and the world. The concept is particularly found in Christianity and Judaism. |
| People or things dedicated to God's service may be holy in different senses: invoking reverence, for example the ‘holy of holies’ in the Temple in Jerusalem; relating to God, for example the Holy Trinity; or pure and chaste, as in the injunction to live a holy life. |
