	Shrine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A shrine, from the Latin scrinium (‘box’; also used as a desk, like the French bureau) is originally a container, usually in precious materials, especially for a relic and often a cult image, and/or a holy or sacred place containing the same, dedicated towards a certain deity, saint, or similar religious figure.
		As such, shrines are associated with the practice of pilgrimage.
