Glossary

Sanctity
1)     Sanctity is another expression of ‘holiness’. Those who are thought to be close to God or who have a developed spiritual life are thought to display a quality of sanctity. When you are in their presence of such people you are less aware of them as individuals and more aware of the Spirit of God in them. The same can be said of a holy place.
