| "In its traditional usage, "sacred space" refers to places with explicit religious sanctity, such as a shrine or a holy city. But there are other ways to understand sacred space. For example, the social spaces in which religious communities live also have a sacredness that, although not explicitly holy, is nevertheless essential to those communities. Put differently, sacred space can include those socially and constructed environments that are not necessarily associated with explicitly holy or religious event or objects."
