A person who consecrates something jointly with another person; one of multiple people who dedicate something to a sacred purpose together.
From 'co-' (together) plus 'consecrator' (from Latin consecrare, meaning to make sacred or dedicate). The term is primarily used in religious contexts for ordinations and sacred dedications.
In Christian tradition, multiple bishops often serve as coconsecrators when ordaining a new bishop—it distributes the sacred authority and responsibility rather than placing it all on one person's shoulders.
