The Ark of The Covenant and The High Priest in The Holy of Holies on The Day of Atonement

Scene from 'Daily Life in the time of Jesus' Movie shot in the Holy Land showing the High Priest entering the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippor (The Day of Atonement)

The Holy of Holies is a term in the Hebrew Bible which refers to the inner sanctuary of the Tabernacle where God's presence appeared.

The Holy of Holies was entered once a year by the High Priest on the Day of Atonement, to sprinkle the blood of sacrificial animals (a bull offered as atonement for the Priest and his household, and a goat offered as atonement for the people) and offer incense upon the Ark of the Covenant and the mercy seat which sat on top of the ark in the First Temple (the Second Temple had no ark and the blood was sprinkled where the Ark would have been and the incense was left on the Foundation Stone). The animal was sacrificed on the Brazen Altar and the blood was carried into the most holy place. The golden censers were also found in the Most Holy Place.

The Ark of the Covenant that contains the Ten Commandments is thought to be located under the Dome of the Rock. No archaeological evidence confirms the location.
