It means pure, unspotted, or clean. The actual word translated as holy brings the idea of "seperate", referring to the fact that something that is holy is far away from being bad, wicked, or spiritually unclean. It conveys the idea of true righteousness. Today, most people find bad connotations with the word, because many things that people claim are holy, really are not.
The fact that the Bible states that God is holy helps us to determine what teachings are true and what teachings are false.

Holy means part of the divine God who is Divine Love and Divine Wisdom. God is uncorrupted and pure but whatever mankind touches is corrupted.
