Blessed (8)
I believe the answer is:
hallowed
'blessed' is the definition.
('hallow' can be a synonym of 'bless')
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for hallowed that I've seen before include "Consecrated, blessed" , "Consecrated, holy" , "Held holy" , "Honoured as holy like 1 Down" , "Honoured as holy, having lewd halo" .)
