| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Temple |
| | Consequently, according to his theory, the temples were so placed that on the day settled on the calendar as the birthday and feast day of the god the rays of the rising sun fell along the axis of the temple and thus also on his statue. | | | The temple for worship was small and its cella contained only the statue of the god that was the object of veneration; it served religious uses exclusively. | | | Besides the statue of the god to whom the temple was dedicated, statues of other gods were at times placed in the temple, partly as ornaments, partly because of their connexion with the principal god. |

| | Egypt Temples |
| | While the god may certainly have been worshiped in these temples, it was also his symbolic home, if not considered his physical residence, and the functions of the temple were as much to serve his or her symbolic physical needs as they were for the god's worship. | | | For example, Sed-festival Temples that celebrated the king's jubilees seem to have had a completely different purpose than "god's mansions", and ka Temples provided a residence not to the dead king, but for his soul. | | | Some were mortuary temples, where the temple was dedicated to the deified dead king, and where he was worshiped and cared for by his cult. |

| | Herod's Temple is referred to by the Jewish people as the Second Temple (the First one being Solomon's Temple), but we shall see later that this designation is not correct. | | | Actually he moved the Temple site some what to the north and a new Holy of Holies and a new altar were built in place of the desecrated ones. | | | The temple entrance was from the east, so the Holy of Holies would be in the west. |

| | The Roman Era Temple at Shenhur in Middle Egypt |
| | The temple built by Amenhotep III was dedicated principally to the Nuibian form of the God Horus, and later, apparently during the time of Ramesses II, to Amun. | | | Interestingly, however, this ancient theme was changed by the early Christians, who converted the temple into a church, to show Ramesses II offering to St. Peter, instead. | | | The entrance to the niche was decorated with an image of Ramesses II worshiping the gods within. |
