RECONSECRATE Meaning and Definition

1. The term "reconsecrate" refers to the act of renewing or restoring the sacredness or sanctity of a place, object, or person that has been previously consecrated. It involves the religious or ceremonial process of rededicating something to a divine or holy purpose, often to emphasize its sacredness or restore its significance.

   To reconsecrate typically entails performing certain rituals, prayers, or ceremonies to purify or reestablish the spiritual connection and significance of the subject. This can involve seeking divine blessings or invoking higher powers to sanctify the object, place, or individual once again.

   Reconsecration commonly occurs in religious contexts, such as when a sacred building or altar has been desecrated or damaged and needs to be restored to its original state of sanctity. It may also be performed on religious artifacts, books, or relics that have been mishandled or lost their symbolic value over time.

   Moreover, reconsecration can pertain to personal or spiritual growth, as individuals may engage in self-reflection, purification rituals, or undertake certain practices to renew their commitment to their faith or beliefs.

   Overall, "reconsecrate" denotes the deliberate act of reestablishing the sacred nature of something or someone and resolidifying its connection with the divine or spiritual realm through rituals, prayers, or ceremonies.

2. To consecrate anew.

The word "reconsecrate" is formed by combining the prefix "re-" and the word "consecrate". Here is the breakdown:

1. "Re-": This is a prefix derived from Latin, meaning "again" or "back". It indicates repetition, restoration, or reversal.

2. "Consecrate": This word comes from the Latin verb "consecrare", which is a compound of "con-" (meaning "together" or "with") and "sacrare" (meaning "to consecrate" or "to make sacred"). "Consecrate" refers to the act of making something holy, sacred, or dedicated to a divine purpose.
