“From ancient times, men and women have embraced sacred music, different forms of prayer, religious clothing full of symbolism, gestures, and ceremonies to express their innermost feelings of devotion to God. The variety of these forms of expression is as wide and diverse as the human family. Yet all have the same ultimate purpose: to connect the believer with the object of their devotion in the most personal way—to draw close to God” (ChurchOfJesusChrist.org).
