From the visitors’ center of the Rome Italy Temple, President Dallin H. Oaks, first counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, called temples a “great symbol of the continuity of life.”
In this Church News video, titled “Meaning of Temples,” President Oaks recalls attending the dedication of the Rome temple with other senior Church leaders. He was filled with exhilaration that the Church was able to “build a temple in this great city, which is the seat of Christianity in all the world.
“It’s a thrill to be among the great Christian faiths that look to the history of Rome as part of the essential history of the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
