'The consecration' has been there of course practically since the church has been there. However in Quebec it spread like wildfire during the 'quiet' revolution of the 60s, the gesture having been intended to distance itself from the moralizing discourse of the religious authority of the time. That said, the churches have since emptied and 'consecrating' has become relatively commonplace in use, we see that slowly, it loses its meaning and we can easily imagine that it could die out within a few generations.
