Chapel
The Chapel is the room in a church building where the main worship service is held. Chapel is sometimes used to refer to the entire building. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints often refer to the entire building as a "meeting house." Though a meeting house may be of attractive architecture, the interiors of chapels are relatively plain compared to the chapels created for other Christian denominations. Mormons, as members of the Church are often called, use no icons in Church worship. The symbols of the cross and the crucifix are not used in worship. The focus is on the living Christ, and the witness of the spirit. Artwork depicting events of Christ's life may be found elsewhere in the meeting house, but not in the chapel.
Latter-day Saints aim for marriage in the temple, where eternal marriages are performed, but marriages for time ("until death do you part") can be conducted in the "cultural hall" section of the meeting house. Marriages are not performed in meeting house chapels.
