Deconsecration is the act of removing a religious blessing from something that had been previously consecrated by a minister or priest of that religion. The practice is usually performed on churches to be rendered to public (secular) use or demolished,[1] but in its most generalized practice may be performed on any object, person or place that has been previously blessed in some manner[citation needed].
