mormon temple

A Mormon temple is a sacred place for temple ceremonies, worship, and prayer in the Mormon religious tradition.

The temple has a sacred ceremonial role rather than being merely any meeting place used by the religious community. Its use distinguishes it from an ordinary chapel.

In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, temples host ordinances distinct from regular meetinghouse services. The religious tradition and temple dedication establish the usage, rather than a particular architectural form.
