How many sacred places are there in the world?

There is only one, but it is VERY big. __________________ It would depend on how you define "sacred". If you were a moderate adherent of any of the three great world religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, you might share common ideas of which places are sacred. If you were a member of a radical sect of any of those religions, you might consider the purportedly sacred places of the other two to be profane. Secular persons or those with religious or spiritual views differing from those of the big three religions might consider all places everywhere sacred, or only certain places, based on such widely varying and even conflicting criteria that the word "sacred" can have no functional meaning for this question. Even if one were to be specific and ask, "How many sacred places are there, according to Islam?" it would be very difficult to give an exact answer, as varying sectarian belief would differ on which sites are sacred. This would apply to any religion, not just the big three religions. The only meaningful operational definition of "sacred" is "whatever you personally, or you and your co-believers as a group deem sacred". Unfortunately, using that definition, the question itself becomes one that only you personally, or you and your co-believers as a group, can answer for yourselves: "How many places in the world do I/we deem sacred?"

Hm, it depends on your other interests apart from religion. A pilgrimage definitely benefits all people. You will come in contact with different types of personalities and places. In a broader sense, a pilgrimage will benefit more a non-religious person as he his horizon is broader in the pilgrimage centre unlike the religious person who has gove there on a mission.


What are sacred times for Catholicism?

The most sacred time for a Catholic is at Mass, because when you are at Mass, you are not really in time as we understand, but you are witnessing Christ's actual crucifixion on Calvary two thousand years ago, AND His Resurrection three days later. There is no more sacred time available to any of us then that sacred time, and Catholics are incredibly gifted by God to have the opportunity daily to participate in the Holy Mass.

What is pilgrimage tourism?

3rd June 2009 A person who goes on a pilgrimage to any sacred place does so for a variety of spiritual reasons: seek guidance from God, draw closer to God, give thanks for a blessing, spend an extended time in prayer, seek forgiveness for sins, visit place considered sacred for some reason, be with people who share the same faith. People of every major religious group go on pilgrimage. Jews go on pilgrimage to the Western Wall (Wailing Wall) of the destoyed Temple in Jerusalem. Jews believe that the temple was the holiest place on Earth because it was in the Holy of Holies that the Ark of the Covenant stood. In the Ark were placed some manna from the time in the wilderness, the rod which Aaron used to bring water from a rock and the tablets on which were written the Ten Commandments. Christians go on pilgrimage to the Holy Land where Jesus lived, was crucified and rose from the dead. Anglican Christians go on pilgrimage to Cantebury Cathedral, the see of their spiritual leader, the Archbishop of Canterbury. Catholic Christians also have numerous sacred sites of pilgrimage: the Holy Land, Rome, and the places where they believe the Virgin Mary appeared (e.g. Lourdes in France, Knock in Ireland, Fatima in Portugal) Muslims go on pilgrimage to Mecca, and its surrounding area, in Saudia Arabia. Here they visit places associated with Muhammad and spend time in prayer. Buddhists have numerous places of pilgrimage, the 4 main ones being: * Lumbini in Nepal, the birth place of the Buddha. * Bodh Gaya where the Buddha became enlightenes. * Sarnath where he delivered his first teaching * Kusinagar in India where he attained mahapaprinirvana (died and did not reincarnate). Hindus have numerous places of pilgrimage. Sikhs go on pilgrimage to the Golden Temple in Amristar in India.

Lumbini: the Buddha's birthplace; Bodh Gaya, where he found enlightenment; Deer Park (north of Benares) where he preached his first sermon ("Set the Wheel of Dharma in motion"); and Kusinara, where he died.
