The group spans Catholic, Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox and Protestant Christianity, whose accounts of what makes a place holy differ sharply: the Reformation broke with relics and pilgrimage, so some members are holy to some Christians only. 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedSacred Sites 1BrowseCompareSelect all 57Angelus TempleChristian Sites2 linksAzusa StreetChristian Sites5 linksBasilica di Santa Croce in GerusalemmeChristian Sites8 linksBasilica of Saint-Denys, ArgenteuilChristian Sites5 linksCanterbury CathedralChristian Sites18 linksCapernaumChristian Sites3 linksCathedral of San Salvador, OviedoChristian Sites6 linksChartres CathedralChristian Sites9 linksDexter Avenue Baptist ChurchChristian Sites2 linksDurham CathedralChristian Sites6 linksEbenezer Baptist ChurchChristian Sites2 linksEmanuel African Methodist Episcopal ChurchChristian Sites2 linksFátimaChristian Sites9 linksGethsemaneChristian Sites5 linksGlastonbury AbbeyChristian Sites7 linksGlastonbury TorChristian Sites10 linksHagia SophiaChristian Sites11 linksHerrnhutChristian Sites8 linksIonaChristian Sites6 linksJasna GóraChristian Sites4 linksKyiv Pechersk LavraChristian Sites5 linksLakewood ChurchChristian Sites2 linksLindisfarneChristian Sites4 linksLourdesChristian Sites14 linksMeteoraChristian Sites6 linksMont Saint-MichelChristian Sites3 linksMount AthosChristian Sites10 linksMount CarmelChristian Sites12 linksMount TaborChristian Sites5 linksNational Cathedral of GhanaChristian Sites2 linksNotre-Dame de ParisChristian Sites10 linksOur Lady of GuadalupeChristian Sites9 linksPatmosChristian Sites7 linksReims CathedralChristian Sites3 linksSaint Basil's CathedralChristian Sites2 linksSaint Catherine's MonasteryChristian Sites4 linksSaint Peter's Basilica and the Vatican NecropolisChristian Sites18 linksSantiago de CompostelaChristian Sites13 linksSea of GalileeChristian Sites4 linksSixteenth Street Baptist ChurchChristian Sites2 linksSkellig MichaelChristian Sites3 linksThe Basilica of Saint Francis, AssisiChristian Sites6 linksThe Catacombs of RomeChristian Sites5 linksThe Church of the Holy SepulchreChristian Sites19 linksThe Church of the NativityChristian Sites12 linksThe Early Christian Monuments of RavennaChristian Sites6 linksTremont TempleChristian Sites2 linksTurin CathedralChristian Sites7 linksValencia CathedralChristian Sites5 linksWalsinghamChristian Sites6 linksWittenbergChristian Sites10 linksCathedral of AniChristian Sites4 linksHoly Trinity-St Sergius LavraChristian Sites7 linksSaint Bavo's Cathedral, GhentChristian Sites4 linksSedlec OssuaryChristian Sites4 linksSponheim AbbeyChristian Sites4 linksThe Leaning Tower of PisaChristian Sites3 linksLearn MoreThe holy places of Christianity This group gathers the sacred sites of Christianity, the most numerous in the atlas, reflecting two thousand years of church-building, pilgrimage and the veneration of holy places across the globe. Christian sacred geography centres above all on the scenes of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus in the Holy Land, and radiates outward to the tombs of apostles and saints, great cathedrals and pilgrimage shrines. The browser will find sites bound to the Gospel narrative in Jerusalem and the Holy Land, the apostolic centres of Rome and beyond, and the pilgrimage destinations that drew the medieval and modern faithful. The entries describe each place's religious associations and history across the different Christian traditions.Sources1. Divinity Atlas Directory Taxonomy, First Edition Category Treetier 12.
