In brief: A sacrifice is the practice of offering food, or the lives of animals or people to the gods, as an act of propitiation or worship. The term is also used metaphorically to describe selfless good deeds for others. In Judaism, the high priest would symbolically present a sacrifice to cleanse the sins of the God's people each year. Christ's death on the cross was the final and complete sacrifice for the remission of sins.
