E.g.

"thus the church's dedication to Christ"
http://sofyalarus.info/russia/churches.html

"a similar one-story chapel, dedicated to St. Afanasii"
"especially appropriate in view of the church's dedication to the Kazan Icon of the Virgin"
(https://www.rbth.com/travel/2014/01/10/the_miraculous_art_of...

"The parish of the church dedicated to the Icon of Our Lady the Life-Giving Spring in Hévíz, western Hungary"
https://mospat.ru/en/news/45286/

The church dedication could be to Christ, to the Mother of God (or feast of one of Her miracle-working ikons), to a saint, or to a Church feast.
