holy
Set apart, divine
Holy describes what is sacred, set apart, or connected to the divine.
A holy book, holy ground, or holy day carries religious significance.
Saints are holy; so is the Holy Spirit.
Beyond religion, holy intensifies expressions of awe or exasperation: Holy cow!
Holy shit!
Something holier-than-thou is self-righteously pious.
The Holy Grail is any elusive, supremely desired goal.
