Consecration (Lat.,
cum, ‘with’, +
sacrum, ‘sacred’: i.e. making connection with the sacred). In Christianity: (i) the act in the
eucharist through which the elements become Christ's body and blood; (ii) the
ordination of bishops; and (iii) the dedication of altars, churches, and eucharistic vessels.
In a more general sense, consecration is the act or ritual which invests objects, places, or people with religious significance, often by way of power and holiness.
