Desecration (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sacrilege

'desecration' is the definition.
(I know that desecration can be written as sacrilege)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sacrilege that I've seen before include "Religious violation" , "Sinful behaviour" , "Disrespect or damage to something sacred" , "Violation of something sacred" , "Extreme disrespect for something holy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent and the Evening Standard.
