The act of making something holy or treating something as sacred and deserving reverence.
From 'hallow,' derived from Old English 'hālgian' (to make holy) with Germanic roots, combined with the -ing gerund/participle suffix.
'Hallowing' appears in the Lord's Prayer—'Hallowed be thy name'—making it one of the most-spoken religious words in English, yet most people never think about what it means.
