'''Camouflaged sacredness''' is artificially suppressed natural desire of [[human being]]s for the fellowship with [[God]] as their [[Creator]] that can never be completely dismissed but rather takes other forms of expression instead. According to Slovak [[theologian]] Ján Bohdan Hroboň the natural longing for [[holiness]] might be transposed and disguised, for example, under various [[secular]], and often even quite drastic terms and expressions, or even under completely vulgar language, but the basic need for ''“something that goes beyond me”'' is equally strong, perhaps even stronger than in the traditional forms of the [[sacrament]]s,<ref name="Hrobon">{{cite web |url=http://www.tyzden.sk/casopis/16165/j-n-bohdan-hrobo/ |title= Kazateľ Ján Bohdan Hroboň |author= Zuzana Bukovská |publisher= Cirkevný zbor ECAV Martin a tyzden.sk |date=23.august 2014 |quote=pri čítaní … štúdií Mircea Eliadeho porozumel, že sacrum, teda túžba duchovnosti a svätosti je človeku vlastné a ako také sa nikdy nemôže celkom vytratiť, len sa „zamaskuje“: „Používa sekulárne výrazy, formy, ale ,žasnutie', potreba toho, čo ma presahuje, je rovnako silná, ba možno ešte silnejšia ako v tradičných formách svätého.“ K teoretickej úvahe hneď pridáva „trochu drastickú skúsenosť s tým skrytým, zamaskovaným ,svätým' doslova z dnešnej ulice.“ Pred kostolom na Memorandovom námestí v Martine sa dal do reči so zvedavým mladíkom.
