temple

post #882893 post #216105 post #2768815

A building reserved for spiritual rituals and activities such as prayer and sacrifice. The form and function of temples is thus very variable, though they are often considered by believers to be in some sense the "house" of one or more deities. Typically offerings of some sort are made to the deity, and other rituals enacted, and a special group of clergy maintain, and operate the temple.
