The Holy of Holies

The holy of holies was the innermost chamber of Solomon’s temple; it contained only two gold-inlaid cherubim and the ark of the covenant (1 Kgs 8:6). The high priest was permitted to enter the holy of holies only once a year to bring an offering of blood. This was the Day of Atonement, now known as Yom Kippur.
