Encarnació

This name derives from the Latin “cărnis assumptĭo > Incarnatio,” composed of two Latin elements: “cărnis” (flesh, opposed to the spirit) and “assumptĭo” (Choice, acceptance, the assumption of human nature “ about the Incarnation”). The name literally means “embodied in flesh or taking on flesh.” It refers to the conception and birth of a sentient creature who is the material manifestation of an entity, god, or force whose original nature is immaterial. The word is used to mean the descent from Heaven of a god or divine being in human/animal form on Earth in its religious context.
