More generally, a '''temple''' is a place of [[worship]], or something in which a God or Gods are thought to dwell.  Often a structure dedicated to one or more deities, temples are frequently thought to be impressive and/or imposing constructions.  However, some religions (most notably [[Christianity]]) believe that the human body itself is a place where God resides, and thus can be seen as a temple of worship.
