Ritualized processing was also applied to nonmeat foods and drink, such as grain, olive oil, and wine. In some cases, human beings were the objects of ritualized slaughter and processing. When dealing with the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), early Judaism, and early Christianity, and their wider cultural worlds, “sacrifice” is best defined as the ritualized slaughter of animals and the processing of their bodies in relation to supernatural forces (especially gods). “Sacrifice” is a word that evokes multiple meanings and connotations in modern contexts. ![]() ![]() ![]() She is delicate and graceful, a small girl – but hard as nails and fierce.
