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
