In the north African country of Tunisia, it’s common for Muslims to pray at the shrines of saints. One shrine in Tunis is devoted to a female saint, which is rare. Lilia Blaise takes us there for a glimpse of what the shrine means to the women who visit. The story is part of The World’s “Sacred Spaces” series, taking us to places where people find spiritual meaning and connection across the globe.
