| Faithful followers kneel in devotion outside the gates of the sacred Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon (Rangoon), capital of Myanmar (Burma). Worshipers ascend one of four staircases to approach the magnificent central gold spire, which rises 99 meters (325 feet) and is surrounded by many smaller spires. Holy objects housed in the glittering shrine include relics of Buddha. | ||||||
