CAn act done in contrition.
DA washing or purification.
Answer & Explanation
✓ An appeasement or conciliation.
The correct answer is An appeasement or conciliation.. To propitiate someone is to appease them, to conciliate with someone who is angry with you. The word is famously used (and rather misunderstood) in 1 John 2:1-2, "if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world."
