Conclusion
• Every religion has a holy place or structure
  that is influential to them
• These places can either signify the birth place
  of the one they praise, the life of their god, or
  even where their holy book was written
• The importance of these places all start with
  the birth place of each religion and the
  religion grows from the teaching’s of their God
  or their God’s life
