Mormon Temple Garments, Explained

Mormons wear a special undergarment called a garment or Temple garment some have wondered if Mormons consider this as magic underwear they do not but rather the Garment has religious significance which has historical precedence among many different religions certain clothing has special meaning this clothing is considered an outward expression of a belief or a special commitment to God religious clothing can be found among most religious Traditions throughout the world for example in Judaism many men wear a head covering called the kipa women have often covered their heads with scarves or in some Modern Orthodox Traditions they cover their heads with wigs this is not a Biblical injunction but a tradition that represents humility and modesty before God in many Christian Traditions Clergy Wear religious vestments like cix which are long robes or miters which are special hats Franciscan monks often wear brown habits with white girls which symbolize the special vow of poverty these monks take in Islam women wear hijabs or burkas as a sign of modesty in seism adherence wear turbin swords shorts Combs and a steel bracelet all of which help remind them of their religious convictions in the modern world clothing is seen as a form of self-expression so it might seem weird even dictatorial when the type of clothing that someone wears is restricted or determined by their religion however wearing this type of clothing is most often a matter of personal choice when it comes to special religious clothing Mormons who have made promises to God in temples wear a special type of clothing called an undergarment or garment this like all the other religious clothing mentioned has special meaning to Mormons the Garment reminds Mormons of their covenants or promises they have made with God it is also a representation of the atonement of Jesus Christ how his life and death covers those who repent and follow him atonement literally means covering which aligns with the purpose of the Garment in that Mormons cover themselves with a representation of Christ's atonement please like And subscribe and for an objective look at more topics on Mormonism visit Mormonism explained. org thanks for watching
