What is the "sacred"? How is the concept of the sacred expressed in different cultures and religions?  I'm interested in exploring how the sacred manifests in various forms, such as places, objects, rituals, and texts.

Can you provide examples of how different religious traditions define and experience the sacred? How do these understandings of the sacred shape their beliefs and practices?
