Salt Lake Temple

In a Church News video titled “The Temple Is Set Free,” construction workers and engineers explain recently completed seismic renovations.

Also, carpet was installed in the celestial room, and chandeliers now hang above the east baptismal font and other areas.

“We have a singular opportunity to help the world rejoice in Christ,” said President Dieter F. Uchtdorf.

The doors underwent careful restoration work over the past six years to meet the precise requirements of Church leaders.

While the work of the temple’s renovations has not all been easy, those involved have seen God’s guiding hand in the process.

Submissions are open until Tuesday, June 30, to write a brief testimony of the Savior and His light.

In preparation for Utah’s Salt Lake Temple Celebration next year, the Church is looking for “really joyful people who are ready to serve.”

A batch of tickets will be made available every other Monday, starting June 1. The rest of the Temple Square Visitors’ Center is open to the public every day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Visitors from around the world gathered Monday, May 18, to experience the new interactive temple exhibit on Temple Square.
