holy shrine
Venerated worship place
A holy shrine is a sacred place associated with a deity, saint, or religious figure—often containing relics or marking a site of spiritual significance.
Pilgrims travel to holy shrines seeking blessing, healing, or fulfillment of vows: Thousands visit the holy shrine each year.
The phrase emphasizes sanctity; shrine alone often implies the same.
