What might people do to preserve sanctity of a special place?

Well, this can be different for every religion. I know that in some religions like Muslim, take off their shoes when entering a holy area. Some other examples are when religions wear something to cover their hair (some areas of Judaism, Christianity, and Muslim). People will also sometimes light incense or bathe themselves with holy water. It really depends on what religion you are or/and your background. I hope that you found this helpful.
