a place of great popular devotion


Explanation:
Nice proposals, but what's wrong with the more literal translation?

Popular devotions
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12275b.htm

Meinrad's cell in the mountain became ***a place of great popular devotion****
http://www.catholicculture.org/docs/doc_view.cfm?recnum=2995

It's a significant place of devotion,
http://www.goccn.org/stc/articles/article.cfm?article=54

In the centuries since, there has been a longing for that movement of individuals and groups in pilgrimage in order to gain graces, to visit ***places of popular devotion***
http://www.cst-phl.com/060112/prayer.html

My 2 cents' worth... Enjoy your translating time!
