CONSECRATION, n.

1. The act or ceremony of separating form a common to a sacred use, or of devoting and dedicating a person or thing to the service and worship of God, by certain rites or solemnities.

2. Canonization the act of translating into heaven, and enrolling or numbering among the saints or gods the ceremony of the apotheosis of an emperor.

3. The benediction of the elements in the eucharist the act of setting apart and blessing the elements in the communion.
