Hinduism is a worldwide religious tradition that
is

based

on the Vedas, and is generally regarded as one of
the

oldest religions still practised in the world. The
term

Hinduism is an amorphous concept as Hinduism
consists

of

several schools of thought. Hinduism evolved from a

monolithic religion into a multitude of traditions
over

a

period of last 4000 years. It encompasses many

religious

rituals that widely vary in practice, as well as
many

diverse sects and philosophies. An array of
deities,

all

manifestations of the one Supreme monistic Brahman,
are

venerated. It is the third largest religion in the

world,

with a following of approximately 1 billion people.

Ninety-

eight percent of Hindus can be found on the Indian

subcontinent, chiefly

Consecration is the solemn dedication to a special

purpose

or service, usually religious. For example, a
church

building, a chapel or an altar may be consecrated
to

the

purpose of religious worship, or a chalice may be

consecrated to the purpose of containing the

Eucharistic

elements (bread or wine).

A person may be consecrated to a specific role
within a

religious hierarchy, or a person may consecrate his
or

her

life to a religion; see devotion. In particular,
the

ordination of a bishop is often called a
consecration.

The word "consecration" literally means "setting
apart."

[edit]

In Christianity

In regard to the Eucharist, the term consecration

refers to

those words/actions/intentions by which bread and
wine

are

set apart or set aside for their sacred use. The

general

understanding in Christian churches of the catholic

tradition is that the gifts are set apart in the

entirety

of the consecratory Eucharistic prayer (the
anaphora or

canon missae or Great Thanksgiving). However, there

seem to

be two main positions of emphasis taken in regard
to

the

words used. In the east, the consecration is
generally

emphasized as being the Divine response to the

Epiclesis by

which the priest invokes the Holy Spirit. In the
west,

the

consecration is emphasized as being the Divine
response

to

the warrant of the Words of Institution, by which
verba

a

priest is said to act "in the person of Christ" (in

persona

Christi) as "in Christ's stead and by Christ's
command"

(alter Christus).

Those who take the vows of religion are said to be

living a

consecrated life.

The ordination of a bishop is called consecration,
for

a

bishop is said to be living the life of perfection.

In the Latter Day Saint tradition, consecration

involved

the giving of member's worldly possessions to the

church in

a type of voluntary religious communism, which was

practiced off and on during the 19th Century, but
is

now

extremely rare among Latter Day Saint
denominations.
