Temple

A Temple is a building reserved for religious or spiritual rituals and activities such as prayer and sacrifice.The form and function of temples is thus very variable, though they are often considered by believers to be in some sense the "house" of one or more deities. Typically offerings of some sort are made to the deity, and other rituals enacted, and a special group of clergy maintain, and operate the temple. The degree to which the whole population of believers can access the building varies significantly; often parts or even the whole main building can only be accessed by the clergy. Temples typically have a main building and a larger precinct, which may contain many other buildings, or may be a dome shaped structure, much like an igloo.

History
The worlds largest and oldest temple is that of the Great Temple of St. Bishop in the city of St. Bishop. No one knows exactly how and when it began construction. The temple has undergone massive renovations through the millions of years of it's existence. Temples work as centres of higher education, learning, places of prayer and worship as well as a place to house and feed those who are helpless and in need.
