This clip from an LDS documentary shows both the exterior and the interior of Latter-day Saint temples around the world. Mormons do not hold their weekly meetings in temples; our regular meeting houses, called chapels, are simple. Unlike LDS chapels, temples are considered to be literal houses of God. Just as the ancient Israelites dedicated much of their resources to building a holy temple, Mormons believe that sacrificing to build temples is one way of honoring God.
