Promesas eternas
To Latter-day Saints, a temple sealing is one of the most meaningful promises that can be made.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believes that marriage and families can be eternal. This differs dramatically from the common wedding vow, “til death do we part.”
In temples of the Church of Jesus Christ, promises are made between the man and woman getting married and God. In this ceremony, the couple promises that they will continue to be a family unit forever, thus binding the children with their parents and the husband with their wife for the eternities. It is known as sealing because it seals families together for this life and the next.
¿Sabías?
¿Los miembros de La Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días prefieren que ya no se los llame “mormones”? El término “mormón” es un apodo que proviene de un libro de escrituras llamado “El Libro de Mormón: Otro Testamento de Cristo”. Aprende más.
La palabra Mormón está bien para usar en nombres propios, como el Libro de Mormón, o en expresiones históricas como Mormon Trail. Pero le pedimos que se refiera a nosotros como "Santos de los Últimos Días" o "miembros de la Iglesia restaurada de Jesucristo".
¿Quién puede participar?
Only worthy members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are able to participate and view these ceremonies within temples. However, it is a common practice for these couples who have family that cannot enter the temple to also practice a civil marriage so that they can participate, as well.
Solo los Santos de los Últimos Días pueden entrar debido al carácter sagrado de la ceremonia.
Representante de los muertos
This sealing ceremony is also performed for ancestors that have already passed. Volunteers in the temple act as a proxy and seal families together one at a time. Those that have passed on and have a sealing performed on their behalf then have the opportunity to accept or reject that sealing and the associated promises.
