Shrine
A shrine ((ラテン語:scrinium) "case or chest for books or papers"; Old French: ''escrin'' "box or case") is a holy or sacred place, which is dedicated to a specific deity, ancestor, hero, martyr, saint, daemon or similar figure of awe and respect, at which they are venerated or worshipped. Shrines often contain idols, relics, or other such objects associated with the figure being venerated.〔(Shrine ). thefreedictionary.com〕 A shrine at which votive offerings are made is called an altar. Shrines are found in many of the world's religions, including Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Chinese folk religion, Shinto, and Asatru as well as in secular and non-religious settings such as a war memorial. Shrines can be found in various settings, such as churches, temples, cemeteries, or in the home, although portable shrines are also found in some cultures.〔(Portable Tibetan Shrine ). British Museum〕
A shrine may become a focus of a cult image.
