LDS Temples and 'Ancient Wisdom'

In ancient Christianity various “esoteric mysteries” were taught. Evidence exists that these “mysteries” were temple ordinances that were practiced and performed for both the living and the dead, notably Baptism for the Dead, the Endowment and Marriage for Eternity. It is hoped that a sense of the beauty and majesty of these ordinances and the principles they symbolize will enlighten the soul and distill the mysteries of the kingdom through the ‘Ancient Wisdom’ it represents.
