President Russell M. Nelson taught us that "each temple is a house of learning. There we are taught in the Master's way. His way differs from modes of others. His way is ancient and rich with symbolism. we can learn much by pondering the reality for which each symbol stands" ( Ensign May 2001)
Surely the greatest understanding of the temple's eternal truth comes through the whisperings of the Holy Ghost as we worship and learn in the house of the Lord. However, by studying the symbols and themes of the temple, we can enhance and strengthen our understand of the Lord's unique method of teaching.

Listed in alphabetical order for convenient references, the entries deal with a broad range of categories, including temple architecture, rituals and ordinances, sacred clothing, sacrificial offerings, geometric symbols, colors, heavenly bodies (sun, moon, stars), prayer and revelation, sacred names, religious festivals, and more.
