unconsecrated
Lacking holy dedication
Unconsecrated means not made sacred through religious ceremony or blessing.
An unconsecrated church has not yet been formally dedicated for worship.
Unconsecrated ground—burial space outside church cemeteries—was historically reserved for suicides, criminals, and the unbaptized: They buried him in unconsecrated ground outside the churchyard walls.
