    holocaust

    1. destruction or slaughter on a mass scale, especially caused by fire or nuclear war.
    2. a sacrifice in which the offering was burned completely on an altar (a.k.a "burnt offering")

    Exodus 29:18 KJV
    And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt offering unto the LORD:
    it is a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

    Another sources explains:

    The word "holocaust" originally derived from the Koine Greek word holokauston, meaning
    "a completely (holos) burnt (kaustos) sacrificial offering," or "a burnt sacrifice
    offered to a god."

    In Hellenistic religion, gods of the earth and underworld received dark animals,
    which were offered by night and burnt in full.

    in the LORD God Merciful, Almighty
    Amen
