Hallow

hal·low
To make or set apart as holy.
To respect or honor greatly; revere.


I chose this word because I was leading a study on the Lord's Prayer and I was curious as to what 'hallowed by thy name' really meant.

"Jesus was someone who was hallowed"

It can be used as an trasitive verb which is a verb that describes an action and takes a direct object: hallowed, hallows, hallowing.

"When I walked into Canterbury Cathedral for the first time, I got a sense I was on hallowed ground."

What a hallowing experience!
