"MY VOCAB PRACTICE."
Sacred. The sacred Native American land should not be sold to the highest bidder.
Sacrifice. Some moms often make the choice to sacrifice career over raising their children, and sometimes women wait to have children--or not at all.
Sacrilege. I remember I heard someone curse in church once, and my mother said it was a sacrilege to the Lord.
Consecrate. The priest consecrates the bread and wine through the Eucharist rite.
Desecrate. During the Iraq War, vandals desecrated holy places to the Muslim religion and it's people.
