IN PURAM ELEEMOSYNAM

In puram eleemosynam (in pyoor-uhm el-uh-mos-uh-nuhm) is a Latin term that means "in pure charity." This term was used in the past to describe gifts that were given to churches without any expectation of receiving anything in return except for prayers for the person who gave the gift.

An example of a gift given in puram eleemosynam would be a wealthy person donating money to a church to help the poor and needy. The person would not expect anything in return except for the church to pray for them.

Another example would be a person donating a piece of land to a church to build a hospital or school. The person would not expect any payment or recognition for their donation, but only that the church would use the land to help others.

The examples illustrate the definition of in puram eleemosynam because they both show how gifts were given to churches without any expectation of receiving anything in return except for prayers. This was a common practice in the past, especially among wealthy people who wanted to help the less fortunate. By giving in puram eleemosynam, they were able to help others without seeking any personal gain or recognition.
