The most precious liquid in the world is blood.
It sustains life within life, moves life, and literally makes one living.
That fishy, sticky liquid symbolizes life itself. Shedding blood means exposing life to the outside, taking a step closer to death.
On the other hand, blood was often used as a sacrifice for great things because of its preciousness.
Among these, human blood was considered not just precious but sacred, treated like a jewel among stones.
In the Bible and the Quran, Abraham, the father of faith, was willing to offer his young son Isaac for God. That proved his devotion.
According to Christian belief, the most exalted being in the world also sent his son, who was both perfect God and perfect human, to shed his blood. All this to save humanity.
Blood was that precious and valuable.
But sometimes it's considered more worthless than dirty water.
Many people were trembling. The "priest" opened his mouth to calm them down.
