Italian term or phrase: sacralizzazione
In epoca medievale, però, i molteplici elementi del vestiario liturgico, si caricano di simbolismi gratuiti e allegorie e man mano che l’attenzione passa dal Mistero celebrato alla materialità della celebrazione, ogni componente riceve un suo significato non più in funzione del tutto, ma per se stesso, iniziando così un processo di sacralizzazione che durerà fino alla riforma liturgica del Vaticano II.


Ho notato che sacralization si usa per lo più in ambito medico, quindi mi chiedo se ci sia di altro

Consecration for the Christian is being set apart for the purposes of God. This is not an optional concept for a disciple of Jesus Christ.
