house of prayer
Sacred meeting place
A house of prayer is a place of worship—a church, synagogue, mosque, or temple.
The phrase comes from biblical language: My house shall be called a house of prayer.
It emphasizes the building's purpose for communion with God rather than its denomination or architecture.
