Acerca de consecration

Resumen

La consagración es la transferencia de una persona o una cosa al ámbito sagrado para un propósito o servicio especial. La palabra consagración literalmente significa "asociación con lo sagrado". Las personas, lugares o cosas pueden ser consagrados, y el término se usa de varias maneras por diferentes grupos. El origen de la palabra proviene de la raíz latina consecrat, que significa dedicado, devoto y sagrado. Un sinónimo de consagración es santificación; su antónimo es profanación. Christianity En Christianity, la consagración significa "apartar" a una persona, así como un edificio u objeto, para Dios. Entre algunas denominaciones cristianas hay un servicio complementario de "deconsecration", para quitarle a un lugar consagrado su carácter sagrado en preparación para su demolición o venta para uso secular.
