Summary/Abstract: The present study aims to present the Bogomilic view of holiness. For this purpose, the main sources of Bogomil and Christian doctrines are used: "The Secret Book of the Bogomils", "The Qatars Trebic", the Sacred Scripture of the Old and New Testaments, the "Boril Synodik" of 1211 and the teachings of the Holy Fathers. The result of the analysis is as follows: There is no similarity between the Bogomil and Christian notions of holiness; on the contrary, they are completely opposite. The Bogomils perceive holiness as an escape from everything material, the world, and the body are not subject to sanctification. According to the teachings of the Bogomils, the man, the animals, then plants are creation of Satan. The woman conceived with the help of Satan. The human body is not subject to sanctification and can not be holy.
