"In the 17th century, Archbishop of Canterbury John Tillotson speculated that the term "hocus-pocus" was rooted in the Latin "hoc est corpus" in the Catholic Mass, when the bread and wine is mystically transformed into Jesus' body and blood." USA Today
Well, there was NO "hocus pocus" on the Day of Atonement-it was, and is, the real thing
And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an atonement for the
children of Israel for all their sins once a year.
Leviticus 16:34
For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate
from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for
his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered
up himself.
Hebrews 7:26,27
