Abstract

In this article the special meanings of the terms holy and sacred will be shown in a comparative way in reference to Judaism, Christianity and Islam. For explaining the differences I do not start with the so called empiric facts, looking at on moments which are named holy and sacred, but asking for the foundation of concepts Generally spoken, these three religions at least connected in the concept of the “one God”. In ancient Judaism sacred is bound on the revelation of God to his appearance, words and the temple. Later this concept becomes “empty”, because of the destruction of the temple, and the end of the time of the prophets. Holy becomes important for daily life in a holy habitude. Christianity sees the sacred in Jesus Christ and its sacraments (and the saints), and Islam focuses sacred on the Koran and the Kaaba.
