Thanks for your clear answers, Harold.
Your unfamiliar definition of "holy" caused me to get out my etymological dictionary for the first time in a long while, and there it was, so thanks for that. I enjoyed my visit to Israel, and Jerusalem in particular : whilst in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, my 7 yr old daughter asked me "What is holy & sacred ?" and I attempted to explain that whilst some places on Earth have for various reasons a very unusually positive vibration, the Divine Presence is everywhere if only one has eyes to see....
A conversation for another time & place perhaps... back to 123s ...
