os sacrum. The os sacrum, “the triangular bone situated at the lower part of the vertebral column,” is said to be so named because it was the sacred part used in ancient sacrifices. In rab- binical lore (where it is also known as the luz) the os sacrum is said to be called sacred because it resists decay and “will be the germ of the ‘new body’ at the resurrection.” |
