“A place can become anything its patrons conceive it to be. Indeed, the principle quality of a holy site becomes its capacity to accommodate a wide diversity of meanings and practices” (pg. 49)
I really agree with this quote from Lane, I find that everyday in your life you will talk about a special place to you that others wont understand and vice-versa. Many people don't look past the physical appearance of a place to see all of the potential significance it holds. It amazes me how so many different types of places can hold a almost holy meaning to people, that I may never understand like them, and I think thats what makes the world such a great place. There is something out there for everyone, no matter what you are looking for you can find something that can hold a deeper meaning to you. A place can become holy if it has the right accommodations to offer to any participant who seeks it out.
