(a loanword from Spanish)
consecration; e.g. of the host and the wine, by the priests (central Mexico, late sixteenth century; originally from Sahagún in 1574, a document that Chimalpahin copied)

But it is the office only of the priests, the clergymen, to make it; no one else. And when the priest has uttered the word of God that is called consecration over the tortillas and the wine, then the tortillas are changed into the precious body of our Lord Jesus Christ and the wine is changed into His precious blood. (central Mexico, early seventeenth century)
