Consecration is the action of dedicating a thing to a religious purpose. Properly speaking, deacons and priests are ordained, but bishops—in churches which maintain apostolic succession—are "consecrated." The Host of the Eucharist is bread consecrated in sacrifice to God for the purpose of partaking of communion.
