consecration| Practice of investing buildings, objects, or people with special religious significance. It aims to establish in the visible world a concrete means of communion with the divine. The consecrated person or object is often considered to be transformed or empowered and is marked off from the everyday world. For example, a church building is consecrated for worship, usually by a bishop; clergy are consecrated in order to be able to act as God's representatives in the world. |
