Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints wear undergarments called temple garments. The temple garment acts as a sacred reminder of the commitments (called covenants) members made with God when they received their temple endowment, one of the church’s sacred ceremonies (called ordinances). The garment also fosters modesty and acts as a symbol of the wearer’s passage into adulthood or into full-fledged membership of the church.
