Description

The German term heilig probably goes back to the Old High German word heilag and originally had the meaning of "own" or "property". In certain translations of the Bible, the term "set apart for God" is also used. Holy is therefore something that is set apart for God, set apart for his ownership. This makes sense if you imagine that saints are people who have placed their lives entirely at God's disposal or things that belong exclusively to God or are only used for him in worship rituals. But now you can also turn the tables: think about what you have set apart in your life or chosen for special people or occasions or people etc. This could give you a clue as to where you might have your hidden gods.

I wish you an extraordinary day!
