HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"The temple is concerned with things of immortality. It is a bridge between this life and the next. All of the ordinances that take place in the house of the Lord are expressions of our belief in the immortality of the human soul."
—Gordon B. Hinckley

Stained Glass Delivered to the Montpelier Idaho Temple

Deliveries of stained glass are arriving at the Montpelier Idaho Temple. The glass for the steeple is the first to arrive, which is being unloaded and staged inside the structure. The clear-glass windows that will encase the stained glass are being lifted by crane and installed in the arched window openings. The metallic spire and finial for the steeple have been staged on site. Crews are also attaching hanging brackets for the fluted stone parapet panels along the top of the temple walls.

Sheathing the Frame of the Knoxville Tennessee Temple

Sheathing boards are being affixed to the steel frame of the Knoxville Tennessee Temple. The structure has risen over the past seven-and-a-half months, and a frame for the steeple will be erected over the center of the building in the coming weeks. When Tennessee became the 16th state of the United States in 1796, Knoxville was chosen as its first capital. The seat of government changed among several cities until Nashville was chosen as the permanent capital in 1843.
