ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sacred

When something is sacred, it means it's very special and important. It's a word that we use when we talk about things that we hold in high esteem, things that are very meaningful to us, things we respect and admire.

It's like your favorite toy that you keep in a special place and you take extra care of because it's important to you. Or it's like your mom's favorite jewelry that she only wears on special occasions because it's so precious to her.

People have different beliefs and traditions about what may be considered sacred, such as religious texts, ceremonies, or even natural landmarks. When something is considered sacred, it's usually not okay to disrespect, damage or destroy it. It's important to be respectful and treat it with care and dignity, just like we treat things that are important to us.
