Holiness, or sanctity, is in general the state of being holy (perceived by religious individuals as associated with the divine) or sacred (considered worthy of spiritual respect or devotion; or inspiring awe or reverence among believers in a given set of spiritual ideas). In other contexts, objects are often considered 'holy' or 'sacred' if used for spiritual purposes, such as the worship or service of gods. These terms can also be used in a non-spiritual or semi-spiritual context ("sacred truths" in a constitution). It is often ascribed to people ("a holy man" of religious occupation, "holy prophet" who is venerated by his followers), objects ("sacred artifact" that is worshipped), times ("holy days" of spiritual introspection, such as during winter holidays), or places ("sacred ground", "holy place"). The word "sacred" descends from the Latin sacrum, which referred to the gods or anything in their power, and to sacer, priest; sanctum, set apart. It was generally conceived spatially, as referring to the area around a temple. The English word holy dates back to at least the 11th Century with the Old English word halig, an adjective derived from hal meaning whole and used to mean 'uninjured, sound, healthy, entire, complete’. The Scottish 'hale' (health, happiness and wholeness.) is the most complete modern form of this Old English root. The modern word 'health' is also derived from the Old English hal. As “wholeness”, holiness may be taken to indicate a state of religious completeness or perfection. The word holy in its modern form appears in Wyclif's Bible of 1382. In non-specialist contexts, the term "holy" is used in a more general way, to refer to someone or something that is associated with a divine power, such as water used for Baptism.

2. What's a pilgrimage
November 19, 2009
What is a pilgrimage? - Well, you may say it is a tour to a holy place, but this is not the only thing that differs a pilgrimage from a usual tour. A pilgrimage is a personal message to God. It starts with an invitation from God and ends with the pilgrim's answer: the pilgrimage. God’s call or this invitation may vary from person to person but the message is always the same: to make people want to know more about God and to feel closer to Him. That's what He has done when He sent Virgin Mary to Medjugorje Although in previous centuries a pilgrimage was full of stresses and strains for many... (read more)

16. How to Tell if It's Real Mother of Pearl or Just Pretty Plastic
November 13, 2009
Mother of pearl is incredibly popular in the Middle East, making it a huge part of many of our most popular Holy Land gifts.

So how can you tell when it's real and when you're looking at a fraud?

Mother of Pearl (MOP) is an incredibly popular component of Holy Land gifts done in precisely the same style as the original craftsmen. But what is MOP? And what is it that makes it such an integral part of Biblical history?
