| 释义 | oblation (once / 7954 pages) n An oblation is a donation or offering to a religious institution. When you offer an oblation at church, you are symbolically presenting it to God. While the financial donations made by members of a church, temple, or mosque can be thought of as oblations, the word is often used in the context of Catholicism and a few other Christian denominations to mean "gift to God."
