Traveling is one of my favorite things to do. I have been to many places like Paris, France, and many other places, but one of my favorite places to go to is to Atlanta, Georgia. In Atlanta, there are many places to go and sights to see. For example, Six Flags, Stone mountain Park, and the Atlanta Braves Stadium, are all in or near the city of Atlanta.

Since their creation, humans have sought to find meaning from the mundane existence of mortality. This quest for answers has motivated many to seek out the divine and sacred spaces forged by the divine. Biblical scholar and historian Mircea Eliade argues that, “man becomes aware of the sacred because it manifests itself [and] to designate the act of manifestations of the sacred [is the] proposed term hierophany” (Eliade 1959: 11).
