holy presence
God felt here
Holy presence is the felt nearness of the divine—the sense that God or a sacred power occupies a space or moment.
Churches, temples, and sacred sites are said to contain a holy presence.
In religious experience, people describe being overwhelmed by a holy presence during prayer or worship: I felt a holy presence in the room.
The phrase can also describe a person who radiates spiritual gravity: She carried a holy presence wherever she went.
