Re: Sacred ?
Jul 30, 2003, 20:57
I s'pose its problematic being the actual definition of the word 'sacred' is supposed to appertain to a religionof sorts. But being realistic, the word has a far broader and more secular use today. So for myself, I have no real problem with a landscape or 'space' being sacred to anyone. In fact I expect many of us on here have our own sacred spaces here and there, be it where one first communed with the spirits or had yer first shag.

Let's face it; Old Trafford is a sacred space to millions of people (not me I might add) and I think that use of the word "sacred", to describe a place say, has far greater meaning used to denote a place of particular resnonance and specialness to a person than its old associations with religion and either deities or saints etc.
The dictionary needs an update frankly.
