Holiness to the Lord Panel Added to the Lone Mountain Nevada Temple

A precast concrete panel inscribed with the sacred words "Holiness to the Lord – The House of the Lord" (Exodus 28:36) has been installed over the front portico of the Lone Mountain Nevada Temple. The inscription was first carved into the Salt Lake Temple by John Rowe Moyle, a talented stonecutter and convert to the Church. The words can now be found on every operating temple of the Church. The covenants made in the temple help members in their pursuit of holiness.

Forming the Structural Walls for the Cape Town South Africa Temple

At the Cape Town South Africa Temple site, the slab-on-grade foundation for the temple has been completed, and the reinforced concrete superstructure is beginning to rise. Formwork and scaffolding surround the emerging structure as crews continue casting walls, columns, and other structural elements. Construction has now been underway for just over eight months, with steady progress evident across the site.

Spire Lifted Into Place Atop the Teton River Idaho Temple

The most prominent architectural feature of the Teton River Idaho Temple was added today as crews lifted the spire into place atop the central tower. The installation marks a major construction milestone, transforming the building's silhouette and making it instantly recognizable. With the spire now secured, work will continue on the exterior finishes as the temple steadily progresses toward its completed appearance.
