Hello, I was wondering a while ago as you do sometimes. What would be the holiest piece of soil on Earth? Where would it be? Would it be in Jerusalem in Israel, or Mecca in Saudia Arabia, or somewhere else, maybe somewhere that is secret? Anybody know?

I think the holiest place is in your heart. If your heart is holy, you can turn the land into a holy land.

I like it, an excellent response. But from a historical point of view is where I was coming from.

Hi, Cornwall, oooh, I love mineral specimens and crystals, Cornwall is world renowned for being a source of many beautiful specimens of minerals in their crystal form. I think cassiterite or tin ore is a big one, but there are all sorts of various and rare sorts that come from your bit of ground/home. Lucky you, I would love to crawl around the mines there and see what I could find, even to have a rake around the mullock heaps for a nice bit of sparkle of something.

I live in a part of Cornwall particularly well known for tin mining and for it's apples. we have an orcheard, and the village has a lot of those tall chimneys about it. originally, my cottage would have been built for tin mine workers.

For every Muslim the holiest place on this earth is "Makkah" because we consider that place as the home of ALLAH on earth. I dont know about others.

Hi, thanks for that, as I thought, Mecca is certainly a holy place. The Kabaa is the large square building at the centre of the Great Mosque, is it not?

Of its in Mecca Saudi Arabia. Because i was told there is one monument there that can only be seen in in the eyes of muslim not others. Through eyes only not picture or movie.

A bit like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Not everybody sees what they are looking at.

The holiest place for me is the place where I find to pray. May it be anywhere, what matters is the connection I make. That makes it holy...

That bit of space and ground that is right where you are, right there and then. This is the universe and you are here and this is now. Awareness.

I consider the center of antarctica to be a holy place.Few other persons also believe so.The is a myth that at the center ther is a beautifull mystical gerden,unseen from unholy eyes.Intriguing myth. besides that there are not many holy places left i am afraid on earth *but underground a lot*

Hmmm, well that's a myth that I'd never heard of before. Wouldn't it be a laugh if the Russian scientists at Vostock base weren't really rugged up for -40 degrees and howling blizzards, but, were kicking back in the garden of myth, drinking Vodka's. Oh, and not telling anyone else about it, in case they were overrun with tourists.

All of earth is holy if you believe that God created Earth and everythin that's on it.

Also true, but, I'm looking for that place so many hold as very special.
