Altar
An altar is any structure upon which sacrifices or other offerings are offered for religious purposes.
Other religions
The vast majority of other religions where the object of adoration is propitiated or worshiped by means of offerings or sacrifices also use altars even if they consist of little more than a sacred space where the offerings are made.
