consecrated wine
Blood of Christ
Consecrated wine is wine that has been blessed or sanctified through religious ritual, particularly in Christian traditions.
In Catholic doctrine, consecrated wine becomes the blood of Christ during the Eucharist—not symbolically, but literally through transubstantiation.
Protestant denominations vary in interpretation, some viewing it as symbolic, others as spiritually present.
The priest raised the chalice of consecrated wine.
