Sacred (comparative religion)

Alright kiddo, so when people talk about something being sacred, they mean it's really special and important to them. Different religions have different things that they consider sacred.

For example, in Christianity, the Bible is considered sacred because it's a book of teachings and stories about their god, Jesus. In Hinduism, cows are considered sacred because they believe they are like a mother figure and should be protected.

Think of it like your favorite toy or blanket - it's something you really love and want to take care of. That's how people feel about their sacred things in their religion. They want to protect them and show respect for them.
