The action of making or declaring something sacred; formal dedication of something to a religious or divine purpose.
From Latin consecrare, combining con- (with, together) and sacer (sacred). The word emphasizes the formal, ceremonial aspect of making something holy or dedicating it to sacred purposes.
Consecration makes things sacred by bringing them together 'con' with the sacred - think of how a priest consecrates bread and wine, transforming ordinary food into something holy!
