sacred

sacred
sacred, sacred versus profane distinction
For Émile Durkheim and all subsequent sociologists of religion , the recognition of the absolute nature of the distinction between these two terms was and has been fundamental to their sub-discipline, both as a social fact and as something to be explained. Durkheim's classic statement of the distinction is that ‘Sacred things are those which the [religious] interdictions protect and isolate; profane things, those to which these interdictions are applied and which must remain at a distance from the first’ (The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life, 1912). Sacred phenomena are therefore considered extraordinary and set apart from everything else.
