Sanctuary Definition
Sanctuary refers to the most sacred part of a religious building. In shrines and Christian churches, the area around the altar is generally referred to as sanctuary. The term is also used to denote a place of refuge and protection – e.g.  wild life sanctuary. In addition, a publication on Britain’s artists and their studios, edited by Hossein Amirsadeghi, is named ‘sanctuary.’
