means A sacred place or structure dedicated to a holy person, deity, or memory, where people come to venerate, pray, or remember.

from From Old English 'scrīn,' a chest or coffer for relics, borrowed from Latin 'scrinium,' a case or box for holding scrolls, papers, or precious things. The thread runs from a humble container of documents to a vessel for holy bones, and finally to any place built to house the sacred — the box grew large enough to step inside.
