hallowed

Set apart, sacred

Hallowed means made holy or sacred, set apart for religious veneration.

A hallowed ground or hallowed tradition commands deep respect.

The word appears in the Lord's Prayer: Hallowed be thy name.

By extension, hallowed describes anything revered through time or association: the hallowed halls of a university, hallowed memories of the past.
