I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">profanation</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that profanation can be written as sacrilege)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for sacrilege that I've seen before include "Sinful behaviour" , "Violation of something sacred" , "Violation of a holy thing" , "Blasphemous behaviour" , "profanity" .)
