Holy of Holies (LDS Church)

Okay kiddo, the Holy of Holies is a special room in temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is a place where only a few people are allowed to go because it is considered to be the most sacred place in the temple.

It's kind of like your bedroom, where you have your most special toys and things that you don't want anyone else to touch, except that the Holy of Holies is a lot fancier and has some really important things inside.

Inside the Holy of Holies, there is often a beautiful altar and some special items that are used in temple ceremonies. It's a quiet and reverent place where people go to feel close to God and to receive important instructions or revelations from Him.

Only specially trained and authorized people, like temple workers and church leaders, are allowed to enter the Holy of Holies. To get there, you have to go through other rooms in the temple and show that you are worthy and prepared to be in such a holy place.

In short, the Holy of Holies is a very special and sacred place in the temple where only a few people are allowed to go, and where people go to feel close to God and receive important instructions.
