Celestial Room, God’s Living Room

Each of our temples gives prominence to a celestial room, which temple worshippers enter at the culmination of the endowment ceremony, at the end of the spiritual path. President Gordon B. Hinckley stated that “this room was created to represent the celestial kingdom” and, as such, “it well might be” described as “God’s living room.” He also taught that “it is our privilege, unique and exclusive, while dressed in white, to sit at the conclusion of our ordinance work in the beautiful celestial room and ponder, meditate, and silently pray.”39
