Descriptions:
Inside their temples, Latter-day Saints perform ordinances, or ceremonies, and make covenants for themselves and in behalf of those who have passed away. Some of these ordinances require the use of sacred, ceremonial clothing. In this episode, David explores the different articles of temple clothing that are used and explains what it is that makes them so significant to members of the church.

Notes:
— There will always be some Latter-day Saints who are uncomfortable with the degree to which I talk about some aspects of the temple in these videos. While I absolutely agree that temple-topics should be treated with the utmost reverence and respect, I will also acknowledge that at no point in the temple do we covenant to *not* talk about our ceremonial temple clothing. As partially shown in this video, the Church itself has published virtual interior tours of multiple temples for anyone and everyone to see. The Church has published videos that have talked about the ordinances we perform in the temple, and have talked about or shown images of temple garments and ceremonial temple clothing.
— “Upon entering the temple you exchange your street clothing for the white clothing of the temple. This change of clothing takes place in the locker room, where each individual is provided with a locker and a dressing space that is completely private. In the temple the ideal of modesty is carefully maintained. As you put your clothing in the locker you leave your cares and concerns and distractions there with them. You step out of this private little dressing area dressed in white and you feel a oneness and a sense of equality, for all around you are similarly dressed.” Source: “The Holy Temple,” by Boyd K. Packer, pg. 71.
— Ancient Israelite priests also understood that their sacred temple clothing represented the priesthood of God. The Jewish Talmud records that “While they [the priests] are clothed in the priestly garments, they are clothed in the priesthood….” Source: https://bit.ly/3ptebzL
