Mormon Temples
Temples are sacred houses of worship where we receive ordinances and instruction pertaining to the purpose of life and our eternal potential. Everything that we do in the Church leads to the work done in these holy houses of the Lord.
The Relief Society Declaration states that Mormon Women “rejoice in the blessings of the temple.” The temple represents our eternal hopes and goals and potential. It also is a place where we learn more about the Savior, Jesus Christ, and about the blessings of eternal marriage and family relationships. The temple helps us know how to find peace in this life, and helps us prepare for eternal life.
Currently, there are 130 temples in operation all over the world, with several many more announced or under construction.
