'''Temple''' is a place of worship for the [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies (RDM)#The Lords of Kobol|Lords of Kobol]] in the [[Re-imagined Series]]. | |||
The | The descriptions of ancient [[Kobol (RDM)|Kobol]] tell of a Temple, located in the [[City of the Gods]]. | ||
The tribes that formed the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies]] had many temples on their worlds. | |||
A logical presumption is that the remnants of humanity that comprise the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]] had opened temples aboard their ships for worship after their homeworld temples are destroyed by the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon attack]]. | |||
[[ | [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#The Clergy|Clergy]] such as Brothers, Sisters, priests, and [[oracle]]s are presumed to be the central celebrants during formal services and hold counselling there. Colonials can also visit temple on their own for private worship. | ||
Temples were likely decorated more elaborately on the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies]]. On [[New Caprica]], temples are created within tents. | |||
Temples may be named after a specific Lord or Lords. On New Caprica, the temple where weapons are hidden is formally known as the Temple of Artemis ([[Collaborators]]). | |||
The altar of the temple may be decorated with stones, candles, tiny idols representing a Lord of Kobol, an piece of animal fur, and a dish containing polished stones, perhaps offerings to the gods from the meager resources that New Caprica provides. | |||
With the [[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II|Cylon occupation]] of New Caprica, one resistance group consisting of Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]], [[Galen Tyrol]], and [[Jean Barolay]] use the temple to hide what weapons they can gather in boxes that form an altar of a temple, knowing that the Cylons have respected the Colonials' sacred places and have not searched for weapons in temples. | |||
[[Nora]] repeatedly asks [[Duck]] to join her in temple in the hope for a child. Unfortunately, these hopes are dashed when the Cylons attack temple, killing Nora. | |||
Sister [[Tivenan]] manages a temple on New Caprica, where she blesses the Tyrol's infant son, [[Nicholas Tyrol]] at his [[dedication ceremony]] ([[Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance]]). | |||
The [[Thirteenth Tribe (RDM)|Thirteenth Tribe]] created an expansive temple on an [[algae planet|unnamed habitable planet]] known in the [[Sacred Scrolls]] as [[The Temple of Five]]. It is discovered mysteriously by [[Galen Tyrol]], the son of a [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies#The Clergy|priest]] and an [[oracle]] ([[The Eye of Jupiter]]). | |||
