English Synonyms and Antonyms
holy
Sacred is applied to that which is to be regarded as inviolable on any account, and so is not restricted to divine things; therefore in its lower applications it is less than holy. That which is sacred may be made so by institution, decree, or association; that which is holy is so by its own nature, possessing intrinsic moral purity, and, in the highest sense, absolute moral perfection. God is holy; his commands are sacred. Holy may be applied also to that which is hallowed; as, "the place whereon thou standest is holy ground," Ex. iii, 5. In such use holy is more than sacred, as if the very qualities of a spiritual or divine presence were imparted to the place or object. Divine has been used with great looseness, as applying to anything eminent or admirable, in the line either of goodness or of mere power, as to eloquence, music, etc., but there is a commendable tendency to restrict the word to its higher sense, as designating that which belongs to or is worthy of the Divine Being. Compare PERFECT; PURE.

And I looked over at the cinematographer and like, both of our eyes were big as saucers. And I thought, holy s ---, this is going to be a wild one. EL CHAPO TRIED TO SMUGGLE COCAINE IN JALAPEO CANS, WAS INVOLVED IN NUMEROUS KILLINGS, PROSECUTORS SAY The filmmaker said this was the beginning of one stunning revelation after another. But I think the biggest bombshell of all for me and for all of us was that this story is much more complicated and this conspiracy is much more deep and vast than any of us had any idea of going into it in terms of all of the parties that are involved, and that was what really blew me away. Enrique' Rafael Caro-Quintero, the DEA agent murdered in Mexico in 1985. ( AP, File) My hope is that those revelations, whether they are involvement of a CIA asset or collusion by a DEA insider and the betrayal or even just the human toll it has taken on all these people after all these years just to see what it really looks like, what it felt like and how they carry it all these years later.
