sanctifier
One who consecrates
A sanctifier is one who makes something holy or purifies it from sin.
The term appears almost exclusively in religious contexts, where it typically refers to God or the Holy Spirit as the agent of spiritual purification: The Holy Spirit is the sanctifier of souls.
Less commonly, it describes a person or ritual that consecrates.
