The Old Testament is sacred to Judiasm, Christianity, some Muslims, Mormans, Catholics and many other believers. It's not like they pick and choose parts of the Old Testament. New Agers pull whatever they want from The Bible but they really don't believe the entire Bible. Some cults do that too.

What are the holy writings of Catholicisim?
Unlike Judaism, Islam, and Protestantism, Christianity is not a religion "of the book", in other words, it is NOT based on holy writings. Christianity is based on the revelation of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, Our Blessed Lord, to His apostles, who were the founders of His Church, the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church, thus, holds the fullness of revelation, she has received this through Sacred Tradition, which is based on the Tradition which has been handed down to us from the Apostles. Part of this Sacred Tradition was committed to writing in the New Testament, as a kind of preaching, and everything contained in the New Testament is infallible, but the entire of Sacred Tradition is what forms Christianity (Catholicism). The "holy writing" if you will would be the Sacred Scriptures, but they are NOT "holy writing" as viewed by all those other religions.

Rastafarians do not adhere to a single sacred text like many other religions.

The emphasis is more on personal spiritual experience and communal understanding than on a fixed canon.

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?"
