A Buddhist temple that sits next to a spring many hope will bring luck and long life. A hill with over 100,000 crosses. And the deepest lake in Central America.

These are just three of the amazing spiritual places featured in our latest rankings for Sacred Spaces: The 100 Most Holy Places on Earth.

This week we are unveiling our Top 90-81 as determined by a unique algorithm that considers a myriad of factors, including combined rankings from world-class religious scholars and Patheos religious writers representing diverse faiths, multi-faith affiliations, and an analysis of web search trends. The Top 100 were chosen from more than 1,000 locations considered.

To ensure an authentic and enlightening exploration of each sacred site, Patheos has engaged the expertise of world-renowned scholar, Alonzo L. Gaskill, PhD. Dr. Gaskill’s profound knowledge and deep understanding of religious traditions have guided the meticulous research of Sacred Spaces, providing readers with a deep look into each location

Last week, we unveiled No. 100-91, which included the Hanging Gardens of Haifa and Newgrange in Ireland.

Over the course of the next nine weeks, we will progressively disclose a distinguished assortment of spiritual destinations from around the globe, culminating in the revelation of our pinnacle choice: The Most Holy Place on Earth.

As we continue to release the rankings in the coming weeks, we invite you to join us on this exhilarating journey of discovery and celebration.
