Temple robes

Temple robes describe the ceremonial clothing worn in the performance of ordinances and ceremonies in a temple. Latter-day Saint tradition: Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) wear ceremonial robes to perform the endowment and sealing portions of their temple ceremonies. The ceremonial robes are modelled after those described in the Bible, according to latter-day revelation. The clothing includes a robe that fits over one shoulder, a sash, an apron, a veil (for women), and a cap (for men). All of the clothing is white, except for the apron, which is green. Within LDS Church terminology, the term "temple clothing" is sometimes used to describe the non-ceremonial white clothing worn by people throughout the temple, whereas "ceremonial robes" are designated as such. It is common for Latter-day Saints to be buried with the body dressed in their temple robes.
