sacred ground
Consecrated, revered land
Sacred ground is land considered holy or spiritually significant—a place where the divine is believed to be especially present or where important religious events occurred.
Churches, temples, burial sites, and pilgrimage destinations are sacred ground to believers.
The term extends to any place deserving special reverence: For baseball fans, Fenway Park is sacred ground.
Battlefields where soldiers died often acquire this status: Gettysburg remains sacred ground to Americans.
