Passer par le temple est un acte de foi et de progression pour un membre de l'Église de Jésus-Christ des Saints des Derniers Jours.
“To go through the temple” is a broad and vague phrase. It means taking part in special ceremonies that bring members of the Church and their families closer to God.
Il y a trois cérémonies principales qui peuvent avoir lieu dans le temple :
- Baptême pour nos Ancêtres
- Donation
- Joints

Le saviez-vous?
Les membres de l'Église de Jésus-Christ des Saints des Derniers Jours préfèrent ne pas être appelés « mormons » ? Le terme « mormon » est un surnom qui vient d'un livre d'Écritures intitulé « Le Livre de Mormon : Un autre témoignage du Christ ». Apprendre encore plus.
Le mot Mormon peut être utilisé dans des noms propres, comme le Livre de Mormon, ou dans des expressions historiques comme Mormon Trail. Mais nous vous demandons de nous désigner comme des « saints des derniers jours » ou des « membres de l'Église rétablie de Jésus-Christ ».
Baptême
To be baptized is to promise to always remember Christ so that His spirit may always be with you.
Baptism for the dead is a proxy act done for the departed. It is a ceremony of being baptized on behalf of those who have already passed.
The Rome Temple practices baptism for the dead, and this ceremony is usually performed by the youth of the Church.
Donation
The Endowment is where members learn more about God’s Plan of Happiness and make two-way promises with Him to obey His commandments and commit to being better. This ceremony is very symbolic and is very sacred among members of the Church.
Joints
Members of the Church think much differently than the commonly thought, “till death do we part,” stated in common marriage rituals.
In a temple sealing, a man and his wife are married to each other for eternity. Temple marriages are not only a promise between the husband and wife, but also with God.

Temples are vital in the lives of Latter-Day Saints. Within the walls of the Rome Temple, volunteers dedicate hours of work as service as they try to get closer to God. Latter-Day Saints become closer to God when they go through the temple.
