Meaning
This reads as a passing of responsibility from a single divine figure to many human hands. It can be taken to mean that belief, memory, or protection cannot remain abstract forever, but has to become shared action. It lands in a story or moment where people are asked to continue something larger than themselves after the old source of authority is gone.
