Sanctuary (Late Latin: Sanctuarium meaning sacred place, shrine). Centrally positioned in a Church; an area containing the altar.

A solemn, sincere and peaceful composition.  I wanted to convey a sense of safety, a musical place of refuge, especially if you are listening to this in the midst of turmoil.

One of my most visited pilgrimage destinations is the shrine of Lourdes in France. The enclosed area, reserved for prayer and services, is named the Lourdes Sanctuaire (Sanctuary). It is a place of healing and also one of safety and refuge for many elderly and sick pilgrims who visit and even stay within the hospital on the grounds.
