Re: World's greatest religious sites?

Two places that speak to my soul are the Shenandoah mountains of Virginia and the Black Hills of South Dakota. The Grand Canyon in Arizona is a close third. In the top ten would have to include the Painted Desert and Monument Valley of Arizona/New Mexico, and the Moab region of Utah. Truly spiritual places, all.

The ground underneath my two feet.

It's a pilgrimage I can afford to take.

So I'm not the only one.

I know it sounds hokey, but my impression is that there is such a thing as spiritual geography. My memory of the Black Hills of South Dakota is that this is actually the only place I've been where the earth seems to be at peace with itself. Very unusual.

Re: World's greatest religious sites?

The larnaca salt lake, in Cyprus. It is a beautiful/heavenly landscape that attractions migratory flamingos every winter.

It was a significant place of worship to the Goddess Aphrodite the temple doesn’t exist anymore, then there was a church which doesnt exist anymore after Saint Lazarus visited the place after his evangelising mission to Cyprus (his tomb isn't located too far). Now there’s a mosque which is considered to be the third holiest site in Islam where Mohamed’s aunty shrine is, I think its built as a traditional Sufi building.

UNESCO recently added the Baha'i shrines in Haifa and Bahji to a list of World Heritage sites.
