Encarnacion

Encarnacion is a Spanish word meaning "incarnation" or "enfleshment." It is most commonly associated with the religious concept of the Incarnation of Jesus Christ, a central tenet of Christianity. This doctrine states that Jesus, the Son of God, took on human form, becoming both fully divine and fully human.

The term "Encarnacion" can also refer to a place name. Several towns and cities in Spanish-speaking countries bear this name, including Encarnación in Paraguay, a major port city on the Paraná River. In some contexts, it may also be used as a given name. The concept of incarnation is not limited to Christianity and appears in various other religious and philosophical traditions, often referring to the divine taking a physical form or a soul being reborn into a new body. The specific theological and philosophical interpretations of incarnation vary widely across different belief systems.
