Abstract

The scientific article describes religious sacred objects, the conditions of their formation, their important features. Among such sacred sites, mosques, churches, and shrines that carry out the religious beliefs, customs, and traditions of the peoples of the world have met the religious needs of ethnic groups for many centuries. In addition to the shrines that are being built in them (religious architectural sites, tombs, places of worship, exroms, ruins of buildings), there are many natural objects - mountains, trees, caves, individual stones in the desert, signs, reservoirs (springs, lakes, rivers, streams) and even some individual tree stones. Religious sacred objects, on the other hand, have been created by human hands as a place, a territory, for certain religions to abide by its laws, and are compatible with the concepts of “good” or “sin” and “taboo”. Such areas are home to a variety of sacred sites, such as sacred springs, tombs, and shrines, and religious ceremonies have contributed to the preservation of sacred sites and the formation of religious values.
