sacred bloodline
Divinely blessed ancestry
A sacred bloodline is a family lineage believed to carry divine or spiritually significant ancestry—descendants of gods, prophets, or royalty with supernatural mandate.
The concept appears in mythology, religion, and conspiracy theories: The novel's plot centered on a sacred bloodline descending from Jesus.
Claims of sacred bloodlines have historically justified monarchies and exclusionary politics.
