I believe the answer is:

shrines

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'such hallowed places' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'her sins revealed' is the wordplay.
'revealed' indicates an anagram.
'her'+'sins'='hersins'
'hersins' with letters rearranged gives 'SHRINES'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
