The lighting system for the Pago Pago American Samoa Temple illuminates the exterior architecture of the building, with its single spire pointing to the heavenly realms. Jesus taught that we are also the temple of God when he posed the question: "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" (1 Corinthians 3:16). He taught that we could also be filled with light, saying: "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light" (Matthew 6:22).
