A '''shrine''' is a sacred place, typically a church or chapel, designated by the local bishop for pilgrimage and devotion, as defined in Canon 1230 of the ''Code of Canon Law''. Shrines serve as centers for specific spiritual devotions, often associated with saints, Marian apparitions, or significant events in salvation history. They are places where the faithful gather to deepen their relationship with God through prayer, sacraments, and pilgrimage.
