Sacred Union

A sacred union is a spiritual or religious concept that refers to a profound and holy connection between two entities, often individuals, that transcends the physical realm. This union is typically considered sacred due to its divine origin, purpose, or significance. In many traditions, it is seen as a merging of souls, energies, or spiritual essences, fostering a deep sense of unity, love, and mutual growth. The concept is prevalent in various spiritual and religious contexts, including Hieros Gamos in ancient Greek tradition, which symbolizes the sacred marriage of divine opposites. In Hebrew, the term can be translated as איחוד קדוש (Ihud Kadosh). Similar concepts exist in other cultures and languages, such as Matrimonio Sagrado in Spanish, Union Sacrée in French, and Heilige Vereinigung in German. Sacred unions are often celebrated through rituals, ceremonies, or symbolic acts that emphasize the spiritual bond between the participants.

Sacred Union
Political truce in the French Third Republic
The Sacred Union was a political truce in the French Third Republic in which the left-wing agreed during World War I not to oppose the government or call any strikes. Made in the name of patriotism, it stood in opposition to the pledge made by the French Section of the Workers' International (SFIO), internationalism, and its former leader Jean Jaurès not to enter any "bourgeois war". Although an important part of the socialist movement joined the Union sacrée, some trade unionists such as Pierre Monatte opposed it.
