Sacred and Pilgrimage Sites

Several people asked for more information about a rather excellent quote about sacred sites in an earlier entry in this blog. Herein I include a link for those who wish to read the original:

I also highly recommend Martin Grays brilliant website Places of Peace and Power about Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Traditions of the World. On his homepage the description of his site reads:

'Sacred sites are the most loved and visited places on planet earth. Since prehistoric times they have exerted a mysterious attraction on billions of pilgrims from every region and religion. These holy places have the power to heal the body, enlighten the mind, and awaken the soul. Anthropologist Martin Gray spent 20 years as a wandering pilgrim to study and artistically photograph a 1,000 sacred sites in 90 countries. The Sacred Site features Martin Gray's sacred art photographs and shows the location of sacred places and pilgrimage shrines around the world.'
