Sacralisation
Abstract: Sacralisation is a process of distinction and elevation comparable to heroization, based on the attribution of the extra-ordinary quality of sacrality to a person. ‘Sacral’ can be defined as that which is assigned to the divine or to powers not available to man himself and thus excluded as ‘sacred’ from the material-physical reality and connected with something extra-worldly. The processes of sacralisation include, for example, divinisation and relating to the divine, through which figures such as martyrs and saints are constituted. It is thus a form of exaltation, honour and distinction that marks the exemplary and generates admiration or adoration, without the term ‘hero’ being used
