Sacred
sites are the most loved and visited places on planet earth. Since
prehistoric times they have exerted a mysterious attraction on billions
of pilgrims from every region and religion. These holy places have
the power to heal the body, enlighten the mind, and awaken the soul.
Anthropologist Martin Gray spent 20 years as a wandering pilgrim
to study and artistically photograph 1000 sacred sites in 80 countries.
All of this travel and research has been in preparation for a dynamic
and beautiful photography book of sacred sites and sacred art of
the world. The manuscript for this book will finally be submitted
to several publishers in the summer of 2005 and the book will be
printed and available by 2006.
The
National Geographic Society has just released a new book called
Geography
of Religion: Where God Lives, Where Pilgrims Walk. 40 of Martin's
sacred art photographs appear in this new volume. It can be purchased
from Amazon.co.uk
