This conversation should focus on how the sacred space is an example of the religious tradition that utilizes it. For example, what does one see, feel, hear, smell, and maybe even taste at this sacred space? What do these things mean to the people of the religion? Why and how do the adherents of the religion use it? Are there specific activities, props, and/or dietary aspects associated with this space? You do not need to address all of these questions; rather, the idea here is that you have demonstrated extensive cross-cultural knowledge.
