The most energetic places on earth. Places of Ascension - special places of power of the planet

Places of power on our planet are energy power points that have positive or negative energy.

At positive power points in a person, harmonization of the entire organism in general and consciousness in particular occurs.

At negative power points, a person’s general well-being deteriorates, memory lapses occur, and for inexplicable reasons a feeling of fear, uncertainty, and even panic may occur.

Positive places of power– these are places associated with a special favorable atmosphere of the area, increased energy. People have known about such places since ancient times. In such places of power, ritual ceremonies were held, temples and temples were created, and with the advent of Christianity, churches and monasteries began to be built. Hermits settled in such places and spent many years of their lives there, striving for enlightenment, which most of them achieved thanks to the influence of the positive energy of their habitat. Such places still attract many people today.

Negative places of power– these are places that are usually called geopathogenic zones. In such places, a person’s well-being can sharply deteriorate, memory lapses occur, electronic equipment fails, and unusual natural phenomena are observed (frequent thunderstorms with lightning, ball lightning, sudden changes in temperature and pressure). Moreover, in such places people and livestock often disappear or die.

There are many both positive and negative places of power on our planet, including in Russia. Many places of power, where positive energy predominates, simply miraculously attract people. There you can relax both physically and psychologically, take a break from everyday life, feel the impact on your consciousness of something incomprehensible, alluring, benevolent, and feel like a harmonious part of nature.

Most centers of power are located in places of tectonic faults in the earth. It is in such places that powerful energy flows emanating from the center of the planet to the surface are observed. The most famous places of power on our planet are: Mount Kailash in Tibet (China), Stonehenge (England), Karnak (France), Externsteine (Germany), Ringing Rocks in the Red Mountains (USA), Zone of Silence (Mexico), Pyramids in the Giza Valley (Egypt), Pyramids of the Sun and Moon (Bosnia), Mount Huashan (China), Mount Belukha in the Altai Mountains (Russia) and many others.

A large number of tourists, estimated in tens and hundreds of thousands, annually strive to get to these places and touch the secrets of these places. Someone wants to find peace of mind and harmony, someone strives for sacred knowledge that can be revealed to a person in such places, someone is trying to find the origins of human civilization there or strengthen their natural gifts (clairvoyance, healing abilities, etc.).

Places of power on Earth, as mentioned earlier, are located in places of tectonic faults, but due to the fact that the planet itself is evolving, its crystal lattice, which is connected to the magnetic field of our planet, is constantly shifting. This means that such centers of power do not exist forever, they either move to other places or simply disappear, and in return other places of power appear. An example of this is Stonehenge, which today is no longer a powerful place of power. But in ancient times people came there looking for healing, performed ritual ceremonies there, and sought true knowledge. But, for example, Mount Shasta in California (USA) is a relatively new center of power on the planet. Places of power can exist not only on the surface of the earth, but also at the bottom of reservoirs (Lake Baikal) or in the ocean layers (Bermuda Triangle).

There are many places in Russia where centers of power are located:

Mount Belukha, Altai, is the highest peak in Siberia; since ancient times, the Altai people considered it one of the most powerful energy centers not only of our planet, but also of the Universe. Ancient legends say. That it is in the depths of this peak that the entrance to Shambhala is located. Staying near this mountain has a strong impact on people and locals advise against climbing to the top unless absolutely necessary.
Dolmens of the Caucasus are located in many places in the Caucasus, for example, near Gelendzhik in the vicinity of the villages of Pshada and Vozrozhdenie, there are dolmens in the area of Sochi, Lazarevsky, Tuapse and other places. There is an opinion that if you make a wish while near these megaliths, it will definitely come true. It is also believed that a night spent next to a dolmen or inside it heals a woman from infertility. In addition, different megaliths can release different energies. Near some people, a person feels an unusual surge of strength, clarity of mind, and also feels positive emotions. Others, on the contrary, experience a feeling of weakness throughout the body, dizziness, and hallucinations.
In the Chelyabinsk region there is the city of Arkaim, a place of power; this amazing place attracts many people from all over Russia and is located on the territory of a nature reserve. Scientists suggest that in very distant times there was one of the largest cultural and religious centers of the Aryans here. The city had the shape of 2 concentric circles. Probably, the Aryan elite, people of science, art, and military aristocracy lived here. The city was built with precise orientation according to the stars. But this place of power has its own peculiarity. Even despite the fact that tens of thousands of people come to Arkaim every year wanting enlightenment and knowledge of the truth, gaining strength, there is a very powerful source of negative energy here and this place is an anomalous zone.
In the Omsk region there is a unique reservoir called Shaitan Lake, as local residents say, luminous balls often appear above the lake. This lake is also famous for its healing water.
Among the islands of the Solovetsky archipelago, Bolshoi Zayatsky Island occupies a special place. On this island there are mysterious northern labyrinths, which, according to some researchers, were created by the descendants of the ancient Hyperboreans. People who walked through these labyrinths felt an inexplicable surge of energy, emotional uplift, and an improvement in their general condition. Men felt the activation of their mental abilities, and women were healed of infertility.

Energy places of power have always attracted many people, giving them hope for receiving sacred knowledge, healing, and the opportunity to join some universal secret. In such places, health forums are often held, individual or group meditation is practiced, yoga is practiced, etc.

But I would like to note that each person has his own individual place of power, this is the place that he often remembers, where he always feels good, and where he feels emotional inspiration and inner harmony. This is the place where a person is always drawn and where he wants to return.

People are ready to travel thousands of kilometers to get to the famous Place of Power: the Pyramids of Giza, Tibet, Stonehenge, Easter Island, the mountains of Nepal, the Altai Mountains or Lake Baikal. But it is not at all necessary to travel so far; it is quite possible to receive natural energy much closer - in central Russia, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Ukraine and Belarus, where energy zones rich in miracles are located.

Sources of natural energy output

There are many special places on Earth where the human energy shell is tuned to specific vibrations - such places have long been considered Places of Power by people. The body of planet Earth is pierced by channels carrying energy information. Energy moves through them all the time, and through the places where the Force exits, information is exchanged with the Cosmos.

Some bioenergetics consider the most powerful Places of Power of the Earth:

The list of energy sources can be continued endlessly: Mexico, Spain, Thailand, all of Europe, Cyprus. Sochi, Perm, Almaty, Yalta, Vladivostok - all have their own legendary sources of energy.

Places of Power are visited annually by countless tourists, bioenergeticists, ufologists, and healers. These energy sources are used during spiritual practices, as well as for working out and realizing one’s Karma. Meditations, classes on spiritual practices, congresses of ufologists and conferences of healers are constantly held here.

Pilgrimage is associated with sources of Power. They are also actively used for burial rites, since it is believed that they create ideal conditions for good reincarnation.

What does the source of Energy look like?

Places of Power often have a round shape, and you can even recharge their energy through video or photography. A map of such places indicates that there are usually mountains or water nearby. Most often, a sacred place is distinguished by a unique terrain, landscape, location: Lake Baikal, the Carpathians, Mount Kailash, the mountains of the Urals, the Caucasus, Abkhazia and Altai.

Sometimes such sources can be buildings or cities marked
the most important historical or religious events: Jerusalem, cathedrals in Italy, churches in Russia. A sacred place can combine both characteristics, like dolmens in the Caucasus, as well as among the ancient Slavs (Gelendzhik).

For ancient civilizations, Places of Power were of great importance. Special structures and devices enhanced their positive energy. These are megaliths (menhirs, dolmens, stone circles), and later buildings of Asia (pagodas, stupas), and psychoenergetic devices (the mantra wheel of Tibet).

What are they?

The energy of each source of Power can be positive or negative, so they have different effects on a person. The “Positive” Place of Power harmonizes the body and gives positive energy. Sometimes people specifically come to such places to get rid of diseases. A “negative” source of energy makes you feel worse. But such places can also have a good effect on sick people, “pulling out” negativity.

Sources of Power can be man-made or natural. Natural energy sources are usually found in inaccessible areas. And man-made Places of Power (mosques, temples, churches) are usually located where natural ones used to be.

Energy information planetary channels have periods of activity and passivity. The flow of energy from any Place of Power can be strong or weak. Thus, Stonehenge is no longer an active source of energy, although people used to flock to it for healing.

Energy sources throughout Russia

Powerful sources of Power are located in almost all regions of Russia: in Kaliningrad, Chelyabinsk, Voronezh, Samara, Leningrad, Orenburg, Novosibirsk, Tula, Nizhny Novgorod, Penza, Vladimir, Volgograd, Kirov, Tver, Sverdlovsk, Kaluga, Rostov, Yaroslavl, Lipetsk...

People living in Yaroslavl, St. Petersburg (St. Petersburg or St. Petersburg), Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Moscow and the Moscow region know firsthand about energy sources. The list of expressed sources of Power can include almost all cities of Russia.

In Moscow and the Moscow region these include: Donskoy Monastery, Vorobyovy Gory, Sergiev Posad. The Chapel of Xenia the Blessed and Monrepos Park are well known to residents of the Leningrad region and St. Petersburg. The Russian cities of Voronezh, Valdai, Volgograd, Kazan, Omsk, Cheboksary, Anapa are also very well known to pilgrims, healers, and bioenergetics specialists.

Places with powerful energy are not uncommon in the Altai, Perm and Krasnodar Territories, Khakassia, Bashkiria, Tatarstan, Udmurtia, Siberia, Lake Baikal, and the Kola Peninsula.

There are a lot of places where the Force emerges in the Urals. Thus, the ancient city of Arkaim (in the Chelyabinsk region) today is the main esoteric center of Russia. In Karelia there are a huge number of sources of power, but the most famous are: the Chardon archipelago, Kizhi island, Anzer island, Pegrem sanctuary.

It is impossible to count energy sources in Crimea. The largest number of them
concentrated in the Bakhchisarai region, as well as near the city of Yalta. Such attractions include: the Karadag and Chatyr-Dag mountains, the Kachi-Kalyon cave monastery, the Stone Mushrooms natural monument, and the Valley of Ghosts.

Dolmens make you think about their purpose. These megalithic mysterious structures of classical form have preserved the surroundings of Gelendzhik. But near Simeiz the dolmens are a little smaller.

Sevastopol can be proud of the Temple of the Sun at the foot of Ilyas-Kai, as well as the Skel menhirs. In Altai there is the famous Ukok plateau, the former land of the ancient Scythians. The Kola Peninsula is famous for its Seydozero and Lovozero tundras.

In Nizhny Novgorod there is a healing lake Svetloyar. Pilgrims from all over the world also go to Shaitan Lake (Omsk), because the water of this lake is considered healing for women. And on Lake Ladoga is the legendary Valaam.

It is impossible to list all the wonders of Russia... In Samara and the Samara region there is the famous Samara Luka. The island of Sviyazhsk is famous in Tatarstan, and the ancient labyrinths of the northern Scythians are on Solovki.

Ukraine

Ukraine is rich in powerful sources of natural power. There are both ancient monuments and recently emerged places (for example, the Poklonny Cross of Kharkov).

Mount Totokha near Kyiv is considered the energy center of all of Ukraine. Another powerful Place of Power is Monastic Island, located not just in the Dnepropetrovsk region, but in the very heart of Dnepropetrovsk.

There are no sources of power in Odessa itself, but the small town of Belgorod-Dnestrovsky, located in the Odessa region, has preserved the Akkerman fortress - the strongest source of solar energy.

Ukrainian women have many places that have a beneficial effect on feminine energy. Maiden Mountain above the Dnieper is a powerful source of energy for conception, as well as obtaining feminine strength. Men were forbidden to visit this mountain under threat of death. The village of Busha in the Vinnytsia region rejuvenates women, and Lysaya Gora near the town of Rzhishche is a gathering point for Ukrainian witches.

Ukraine is also famous for its ancient sources of Power. Thus, the Stone Tomb in the Zaporozhye region is recognized as the oldest monument in the entire territory of Ukraine. Mount Bogit in the Ternopil region is a shrine of the pagans of Kievan Rus. The main attraction of Bogita are the dolmens and the pedestal for the idol of the ancient Slavic deity.

Vladimirskaya Hill in Kyiv is the source of Power of the ancient Slavs. They were convinced that there was an energy channel connecting the Earth and Space. Svyatogorye in the Donetsk region has been a holy land since the Stone Age. Now the Svyatogorsk Lavra stands here.

Europe

Residents of Europe will not have much difficulty finding Places of Power, since they are concentrated here very densely:

Asia

Esotericists are well aware of the energy sources of Asia. In India, everyone knows the Sacred Mountain of Arunachala - it is considered the embodiment of the Pillar of Light. Another Sacred Mountain is Meru, the real center of the spiritual and material worlds.

Tibet is often called the Center of the World. The pyramid-shaped mountain Kailash is considered a famous energy source in Tibet. There are also many sources of Power in Central Asia, for example, in Kazakhstan.

South America

The world map shows that the sacred energy sources of South America are located parallel to similar places in India, Tibet, Nepal, and the peaks of the Andes are opposite the Himalayan peaks.

The powerful Places of Power in South America since time immemorial have been Machu Picchu (City Lost in the Clouds), as well as the Inca Trail leading to it. The oldest source of Power in South America is called Easter Island in Chile, where 887 five-meter Moai (megalithic stone idols) were discovered.

Places of Power are the most amazing miracle of our planet. People who practice all kinds of self-regulation systems (yoga, qigong, reiki) agree that it is possible to do whatever you want next to such energy sources. You can either meditate or just sit without thinking about anything. In any case, a positive effect from the source of Power will be achieved.

Travel is different. Some people desire a seaside holiday, while others desire city excursion tours. Some trips take years to prepare for, because their purpose is not sightseeing, but spiritual growth, receiving grace and consolation. Holy places- this is the goal of millions of believers around the world who dream of touching the greatest religious relics. Today we will tell you about the most famous of them.

Holy places. Vatican

A country with an area of 0.44 m2 and the holy capital of the Catholic world. The high fortress wall hides the secrets of a sovereign state founded in 1929 and with its own flag, mint, currency, post office, radio station and railway. Until this time, the Vatican belonged to Italy and was known as the center of power of the Pope - the head of the Holy See and the Roman Catholic Church. It houses priceless treasures of world culture and art, some of which are exhibited in accessible museums, as well as secret archives located in an 85 km long underground vault. Access there is closed to mere mortals.

The main entrance to the Vatican is Piazza San Pietro, designed by the greatest Lorenzo Bernini. His great idea was the symmetrical colonnades in the shape of a semicircle that frame the square, which gives it the outline of the key to heaven given to Peter by Jesus.

Piazza San Pietro is home to the sacred destination of pilgrimage for millions of Catholics around the world - St. Peter's Basilica, which is the largest Christian church on the planet, with an area of 22,067 m2. The foundation of the grandiose basilica was the burial place of the Apostle Peter, who suffered martyrdom on an inverted cross. The coffin with part of the relics of Peter is located in the center of the cathedral, above it the lamps of the Papal Altar burn inextinguishably. In addition, in the sacred place there are the Vatican Grottoes, where the deceased Popes rest, the relics of John Chrysostom, Gregory the Theologian and the statue of Queen Helena with the Cross of the Lord she found, particles of which are also a relic of St. Peter's Basilica.

Shema Yisrael, Adonai Eloeinu Adonai echad! These words of the most important Jewish prayer have long been absorbed into the stones of the Western Wall. Jews all over the world pray towards Jerusalem, and Jews of Jerusalem pray towards the Western Wall - a symbol of hope and faith. It was so more than 2 thousand years ago, and it is so now. Representatives of other faiths also strive to get to the shrine and insert notes into the cracks between the ancient stones, to which they entrust their most cherished desires. There is always an atmosphere of harmony and peace here. Here everyone has a conversation with God.

Today's prayer site is the ruins of the structures that formerly surrounded the Temple Mount. More than 3 thousand years ago, the wise Solomon founded a grandiose temple here, where the priceless shrines of the people of Israel were located - the tablets stored in the Ark of the Covenant with the commandments inscribed on them, which God gave to Moses on the top of Mount Sinai. In 586 BC. e. the temple was destroyed by the king of the Babylonian kingdom, Nebuchadnezzar. In 516 BC. e. a second holy house was erected. But a sad fate awaited him too. In 70 AD e. Roman troops, led by Emperor Titus, burned the sanctuary.

Only the western part of the wall of the second temple remained intact - the current Wailing Wall - the main open-air synagogue, where followers of Judaism pray tirelessly, grieving over the lost holy place and tablets and dreaming of the construction of the Third Temple, the appearance of which was predicted by the prophets.

In the heart of Jerusalem is the most sacred place of all Christians on the planet. Jesus Christ preached here more than 2 thousand years ago. The energy of this land cannot be expressed in words - it must be felt, absorbed along with the hot air of the ancient narrow streets along which on Friday, early spring morning of the month of Nisan, Jesus was led to the place of crucifixion. On Mount Golgotha, where He accepted death on the Cross and was buried, where the miracle of the Resurrection occurred, in 335 AD. e. Queen Helena and her son Constantine erected the first sacred Church of the Holy Sepulcher.

Today, under the arches of the temple there are three of the greatest shrines of Christianity:

The silver-lined round hole at the top of the sanctuary is the location of the Cross. Seventeen steps lead there. A Throne was built in front of the Crucifixion, to the right of it is a part of the rock located under glass with cracks formed at the moment of the Lord’s death.

The stone of Confirmation, lined with marble, on which the body of Jesus was placed after the Crucifixion for rubbing with precious oils. It is located in front of the entrance to the temple. Eight lamps are suspended above this place - exactly as many denominations of Christianity have the right to be in the sacred place. Pilgrims strive to touch the Stone and place icons and crosses on it for the Holy blessing.

Rotunda, in the center of which is the marble chapel of Edicule, consisting of two limits: the Angel and the Holy Sepulcher, located in a small grotto with a low entrance. You can (and should!) enter it only on your knees, since inside there is a Shrine that has no equal in the Christian world - the Holy Sepulcher. The Great Resurrection of Christ took place here, here the pilgrims who arrived from all over the world shed tears of joy, cleansing their souls!

Every year a miracle occurs in the church, which millions of Christians await with hope in their hearts - the ascension of the Holy Fire. The flame appearing on the funeral bed symbolizes the continuation of life on the planet. According to sacred legends, the year when the sacred fire is not given to people will be the beginning of the Apocalypse.

In Mecca, a city surrounded by mountains with an area of 400 km2, located in the western part of Saudi Arabia, in 570 AD. The main prophet of Islam, Muhammad, was born and preached starting in 629. Muslims look towards this sanctuary during prayers, performed five times a day. Representatives of other faiths are not allowed here. In the Middle Ages, those who violated the ban faced immediate death. Today, those who do not comply with this law face a large fine.

Every year, more than two million devout Muslims on the planet perform Hajj - a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, in which everyone who believes in Allah must take part at least once in their life. The time of Hajj comes with the onset of certain months of the Islamic calendar. These are Shawwal, Dhul-Qaeda and 9 days of Dhul-Hijjah. The purpose of the pilgrimage is to worship the greatest shrine of the Islamic religion - the Kaaba, located in the courtyard of the main building of Mecca - the Sacred Mosque, the area of which is 309 m2.

The Kaaba itself is a 15-meter-high black granite cube standing on a marble foundation. The structure is covered with dark fabric and hides a room inside, the entrance to which is closed by a golden door. Her weight is 286 kg. One and a half meters from the ground in the eastern corner of the Kaaba is the main relic - the Stone of Forgiveness, sent by Allah to Adam and Eve. At that time, the shrine was painted white, but, having absorbed the sins of the human race, it darkened. Touching the Black Stone is the main dream of all followers of Islam.

The holy city, standing on the banks of the Ganges River, is the religious capital of India. There are a huge number of temples here - about 25,000. Hindus claim that Varanasi (or Benares), built by God Shiva, was the first city to appear on the planet. It is from this place that the history of mankind begins. At the time when India was a colony of Great Britain, the city was called Kashi, which means “bright” in Indian. Hindus believe that staying in this place removes all sins from a person. Therefore, Varanasi is the most important pilgrimage destination for Indians who dream of swimming in the waters of the Ganges and cleansing their souls.

An equally important goal for numerous Indians trying to get to the ancient city is, no matter how crazy it may sound, the cremation of the dead. Followers of Hinduism have no fear of death, because the soul does not die, but is reborn again, going through many cycles until it reaches heaven. The eastern bank of the Ganges is where people go after death. And if their bodies were burned on the western bank, then the liberated souls immediately rush to God. At this place, about 300 dead people are burned every day. Ritual fires have not gone out here for a minute for 3.5 thousand years.

Holy places. Bethlehem, Palestine

Bethlehem is a small Palestinian town that is dear to the heart of every Christian. Here, on a magical clear night, a new star lit up in the sky, and the Angels announced to the shepherds guarding their flocks about the birth of the Savior of mankind. Three eastern sorcerer kings sent their feet here to present gifts and worship the King of the World. And it is here that the Basilica of the Nativity of Christ is located, which thousands of believers visit every day with trembling in their hearts.

The first small temple at the birthplace of the Savior was erected back in 323 by Queen Helena. This church burned down during the uprising that took place in Samaria. About 200 years later, Emperor Justinian, having received a request for the restoration of the holy house from Sava the Consecrated, decided to build a new temple, which has survived virtually unchanged to this day.

The main entrance to the basilica is very low and narrow. The church consists of a prayer hall in the shape of a cross, which includes five naves, and a small Cave of the Nativity, which has two entrances. It is here, in the dungeon, that the main shrine of the temple is located - the birthplace of the Savior, indicated by a star, and the manger in which Mary carefully laid the newborn Jesus. To get to the grotto, pilgrims wait for several hours, reading prayers and preparing themselves for the meeting with the shrine.

Church of St. Nicholas, Türkiye

There are many Christian shrines in Turkey. One of the most visited of them is the Church of St. Nicholas. It is located in the small town of Demre, located in the province of Antalya about three kilometers from the ruins of the ancient city of the World, where around 270 AD. e. the greatest Nicholas the Wonderworker (of Myra) was born. Here he subsequently served as a bishop in the church he created.

Since childhood, Nikolai dedicated his life to serving the Lord. Around 300 AD. e., having become the bishop of Myra, he began to preach. Then an extraordinary event occurred - a miracle that Nikolai performed, resurrecting a dead sailor during a raging storm. The people were filled with faith in the spiritual power of the clergyman.

Around 343 AD. e. Nikolai died. The last refuge of the great man, who was canonized after his death, was a white marble sarcophagus installed in the temple in which the Wonderworker served.

Even after the death of the Saint, his relics healed the sick. In 1087, the remains of the Wonderworker were stolen by the Venetians and transported to the Italian city of Bari, where they are currently located. But even today, thousands of pilgrims come to Turkish Demre to kneel before the place where Nicholas of Myra rested. The surviving sarcophagus of the Saint is located in the south nave of the basilica.

In conclusion, I would like to remind you what rules of behavior you should not forget about when visiting holy places. Even if you came here as a tourist and not a pilgrim, you should respect the feelings of believers and comply with the necessary requirements. Women's hair, arms, neckline and legs above the knees must be covered; shorts and T-shirts are unacceptable for men. Carefully read the rules of photography - sometimes it is prohibited. If you want to enter the mosque, be sure to remove your shoes first. And please always turn off your cell phones.

That's all we have. We are very glad that you visited our website and spent a little time to gain new knowledge.

Culture

Religious tourism has become increasingly popular in recent years. Sacred places, where millions of believers flock every year, are charming in themselves, even regardless of the beliefs and religions that are promoted there. There are unique and majestic buildings and monuments with spiritual significance. People come to these places to get closer to God, gain faith or be cured of illnesses. Learn about the most important sacred sites on the planet.

1) Ta Prum

Ta Phrum is one of the temples at Angor, a temple complex dedicated to the god Vishnu in Cambodia. It was built in the late 12th century AD by King Jayavarman VII of the Khmen Empire. Isolated and deliberately left in the jungle like the rest of the temple complex, Ta Phrum has been overrun by wildlife. It is this aspect that attracts tourists most of all - they dream of seeing an abandoned and overgrown temple a thousand years ago.

2) Kaaba

The Kaaba is the most important sacred site in the Islamic world. The history of this place as a sacred place stretches back long before the time of the Prophet Muhammad. Once upon a time there was a refuge for statues of Arab gods. The Kaaba is located in the center of the courtyard of the Holy Mosque in the city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

3) Borobudur

Borobudur was discovered in the 19th century in the jungles of Java, Indonesia. This sacred temple is an amazing structure containing 504 Buddha statues and about 2,700 reliefs. The complete history of this temple is a mystery; it is still not known who exactly built this temple and for what purpose. It is also not known why such a majestic temple was abandoned.

4) Church of Las Lajas

One of the most amazingly beautiful and important sacred places in the world - the Church of Las Lajas - was built just a little less than a century ago - in 1916 - on the site where, according to legend, Saint Mary appeared to people. A woman with her sick, deaf-mute daughter on her shoulders walked through these places. When she stopped to rest, her daughter suddenly began to speak for the first time in her life and spoke about a strange vision in the cave. This vision turned into a mysterious image, the origin of which has not been established even today after detailed analysis. There were supposedly no paint pigments left on the surface of the stone, although it could have been deeply ingrained into the stone. Even though the image has not been restored, it is very bright.

5) Hagia Sophia

Hagia Sophia in Istanbul is a truly amazing place, it amazes everyone, even those who do not particularly believe in God or Allah. This temple has an enviable history that began with the construction of a Christian church in the 4th century AD by Byzantine Emperor Constantine I. It was once the most important Christian temple until it was eclipsed by St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. The church ceased to exist after the conquest of Constantinople by the Turks led by Mehmet II in 1453, and a mosque settled in the temple building. Despite the fact that towers and minarets were added to Hagia Sophia, all internal images of Christians were not destroyed, but were only hidden under a layer of plaster.

6) St. Peter's Basilica

St. Peter's Basilica - one of the most amazing Catholic cathedrals in the world - is located in the Vatican. It is one of the holiest places for Christians, and the church itself was built in the 17th century. This is not only one of the most beautiful architectural structures, but also one of the largest and most spacious. Up to 60 thousand people can be in the cathedral at the same time! It is believed that under the altar there is the tomb of St. Peter.

7) Sanctuary of Apollo

The Temple of Apollo was built no less than 3,500 years ago and has not yet been forgotten. The Greeks considered it the “center of the world”; they came here, like many pilgrims from different countries, in order to hear the prophecy of the Oracle of Delphi - a high priestess through whose lips God allegedly spoke to believers.

8) Mahabodhi Temple

The Mahabodhi Temple is one of the most impressive holy places in the world and the holiest site for Buddhists. Every year thousands of Buddhists and Indian pilgrims, as well as many tourists, come here. People believe that this is the place where Siddhartha Gautama achieved Enlightenment, becoming Buddha.

9) Luxor Temple

Luxor Temple is an amazing and magical place. It is so huge that its walls could contain an entire village. Built in the 14th century BC, the temple was dedicated to Amun (later Amon-Ra), the most important of all the gods of the Egyptians. At night, the temple is illuminated by hundreds of lights, offering tourists an unforgettable spectacle.

10) Notre Dame Cathedral

One of the most famous cathedrals in the world, as well as one of the most beautiful, is located in Paris. It was built between 1163 and 1250 and is considered one of the most important monuments of Gothic architecture. Witnessing many historical events, the cathedral was often damaged and was thoroughly restored several times. Today it is one of the symbols of France and an important tourist attraction, which both believers and ordinary tourists flock to see.
