holy of holies of the temple at jerusalem


The Holy of Holies is a term in the Hebrew Bible which referred to the inner sanctuary of the Tabernacle and later the Temple in Jerusalem which could be entered only by the High Priest on Yom Kippur. Contemporary Judaism and certain branches of Christianity, including the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and the Latter-day Saints, continue to have a tradition of a Holy of Holies which they regard as a most sacred site.
