A
temple garment (also referred to as
garments,
the garment of the holy priesthood, or
Mormon underwear) is a type of
underwear worn by adherents of the
Latter Day Saint movement after they have taken part in the
endowment ceremony. Garments are worn both day and night and are required for any adult who previously participated in the endowment ceremony to enter a
temple. The undergarments are viewed as a symbolic reminder of the
covenants made in temple ceremonies and are seen as either a symbolic or literal source of protection from the evils of the world.
