The Bajoran name for the dwelling place of the Prophets, identified after 2369 with the interior of the stable wormhole in which the non-linear aliens who watch over Bajor exist.
For thousands of years Bajoran faith has held that the Prophets live in the Celestial Temple and send the Orbs from it to guide their people. In Emissary, Benjamin Sisko and Jadzia Dax discover the wormhole in the Denorios Belt, and Sisko meets the beings inside, who have no understanding of linear time.
To Starfleet they are wormhole aliens, while to Bajor the discovery confirms that the Temple is real and that Sisko is the Emissary who was foretold to find it. The Temple's gates, as Bajorans call the wormhole's mouth, become central to the planet's religion and politics.
Sisko returns to the Temple to plead for help in Sacrifice of Angels, when the Prophets make a Dominion fleet vanish. In What You Leave Behind, after stopping Dukat in the Fire Caves, he is taken into the Temple to live among them.
