Best Answer
  • God's Holy Scriptures
  • God's place of worship
  • The human being is sacred to God and to us, therefore we do not kill (unless in war or self defense - even that is questionable by many believers and Jews)
  • The earth is God's creation and it is sacred.
  • God himself.
Roman Catholic AnswerSacred refers to holy or divine. The sacred is that which pertains to God, as distinguised from what pertains to human beings; that which is eternal, in contrast to the temporal; the heavenly as opposed to the earthly; the infinite, and not the finite. In all religinos, the sacred is the Absolute, which does not change, whereas the profane is the relative, whose essence is to change.

from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980
