noun sacrariums · sacraria
- In Ancient Rome, a place where sacred objects were kept, either in a temple (the adytum) or in a house (holding the penates)
- The area surrounding the altar of a Christian church; the sanctuary or piscina. Sometimes specifically a drain directly to the earth, perhaps including reference to a basin, for washing vessels from consecration. The hay-trusser deposited his basket by the font, went up the nave till he reached the altar-rails, and opening the gate entered the sacrarium, where he seemed to feel a sense of the strangeness for a moment; then he knelt upon the footpace.
- The complex sacrum of any bird.
