Fantastic icon I arranged for religious ceremony (14)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sanctification

'religious ceremony' is the definition.
(sanctification is a kind of religious ceremony)

'fantastic icon i arranged' is the wordplay.
'arranged' indicates anagramming the letters (letters rearranged).
'fantastic'+'icon'+'i'='fantasticiconi'
'fantasticiconi' with letters rearranged gives 'SANCTIFICATION'.

'for' is the link.
