In the Bajoran religion, the Celestial Temple is a region of space where their spiritual Prophets reside.
Some Bajorans believe the Celestial Temple is actually the Bajoran wormhole,
and thus feel the wormhole to be sacred.
Bajoran tradition holds that the Temple is the source of the nine Orbs sent by the Prophets to help
teach the Bajoran people how to lead their lives.
