Well--secularize means to transfer from ecclesiastical to civil; but that would have meant that your object(s) would have to have had an inherent religious meaning, which I gather they/it didn't.

How about traditionalize? M-W gives:
Main Entry: tra�di�tion�al�ize
Pronunciation: tr&-'dish-n&-"lIz, -'di-sh&-n&l-"Iz
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): -ized; -iz�ing

: to make traditional : imbue with traditions or traditionalism

Charge? Maybe...

Shoot, what about plain old popularize? I don't care much for traditionalize, prolly because I haven't heard it used; certainly not widely, anyway.
