In this essay I will discuss both the historical and modern relevance of sacred mountains within religions around the world. The broader perspective of this essay is to connect the sacredness of the mountain to the socio-religious impact on mountain culture. The first part of the essay will discuss the history of sacred mountains in different religions and cultures around the world. The second part will discuss internal practices and their meaning in mountain-related cultures. In the third part, I will provide reasons why the sacred mountains are threatened by modern commercial tourism and mountaineering and its recent efforts to preserve their sacred significance. INTRODUCTION Nowadays, over the decades, mountains have increasingly been a place to awaken a sense of awe or wonder. in individuals that distinguishes them as a place with provocative beauty and meaning. For example, many tourists, hikers and climbers visit the Sierra Nevada in California and the Alps in Europe. In addition to being known for their provocative beauty, the mountains are also known to stand out as sacred places of worship or sanctity. There is no universal definition of sacredness, it is rather more context-specific in the sense that it can have various meanings. Mountains are considered sacred if they contain sacred places or objects such as temples, monasteries, hermitages, stones, springs, and groves that are directly associated with the activities of holy people (Bernbaum 305). Mountains can be singled out by a specific culture or tradition as places of sanctity (Bernbaum 304). According to Japanese religion, a mountain is considered sacred to a given group of people if it is majestically tall, has an unusual shape, or if it was... in the center of the card... In Greek we can see connecting similarities, such as the sacredness of a mountain weighed by its sacred event, such as Moses giving God the Ten Commandments in the mountains of Sinai and the Greek regarding a "sacred" mountain based on its divine births and miraculous events such as, Mount Kyllene is the place of birth of Herkles. As we can see in these religions which are parallel themes in each of them, we can also say the same for the whole world. The best way to effectively analyze the different reasons for the sacredness of the mountain is to organize them. Edwin Bernbaum was able to find ten common themes that are commonly expressed in his study. Including height, center, power, deity or abode of deity, temple or place of worship, heaven or garden, ancestors and dead, identity, source, inspiration, renewal and transformation.
