Hollowing, To Hollow, or To Make Hollow are all terms used by many religions meaning to Make Holy this Site. Usually A God is called to watch and participate in the function of the group or ceremony and to protect the site of worship from outside negitivity or intrusion from harmful spirits.

I'd like to venture you are confusing two slightly archaic words: hollow, which as explained means empty and when applied to a landscape feature such as Sleepy Hollow means valley, and Hallow which is cognate with Holy and is usually used to mean to make holy but also means Holy as in Holy Evening (Halloween) or the Hallows in legend or J. K. Rowling's books.

If you mean like in Sleepy Hollow, it means a valley.

It means "there is nothing inside an object (empty space). For example, there is a theory that the earth is hollow.
