sanctifiers
Those who consecrate
Sanctifiers are people or things that make something holy or pure.
In religious contexts, the term often refers to the Holy Spirit or to clergy who consecrate objects or spaces: The priest served as sanctifier of the new church.
More broadly, anything that purifies or legitimizes can be called a sanctifier: Time is the great sanctifier of questionable decisions.
