RE: Vocab-ability–201 (sacr = holy) – A More Powerful Vocabulary (earn UpVotes with “Vocab Practice” exercise)

in #vocab-ability6 years ago

MY VOCAB PRACTICE:

  1. Zoroastrians worship a sacred fire that has been kept continuously burning for millenia.

  2. She decided to sacrifice chocolate for lent.

  3. In an act of sacrilege, the churches were deconsecrated and sold to breweries to turn them into pubs.

  4. The bishop visited the site of the new church to consecrate the land before building work could begin.

  5. The thugs decided to desecrate the graves by putting rubbish on them.

Sort:  


Good work!

Re #3, pubs can be seen to be sacred, too. At least, I think so.
