My daughter is serving her mission in Richmond and loves this sacred land. She and other missionaries will be getting to tour the temple with visitors and be there for the dedication. I am so happy for her, and proud of her.

Such a beautiful temple. May God pour out His blessings to the residents of Virginia and those who enter that holy building

[@churchnewsroom]

We appreciate your comment, thank you!

[@brettstone87]

I love that it feels (to my uneducated eye) like each temple’s architecture reflects something of the culture and history of the place it was built.

[@TacoBlend]

Isn't it amazing? We know that, even though we all come from different cultures and backgrounds, the Lord is wanting us to Unite ourselves in Love and Compassion for one another. Despite the differences in the architecture of all the temples, all the work and worship done within is the same.

Wow. Wow. Wow.
Beautiful words from people who know and love God in their own lives and have a sincere desire for the protection of religious freedom.
This temple as always is beautiful.

So beautiful! I could feel the spirit of the Lord as I watched and saw the inside of the temple. As I heard the speakers speak. I love The Church. I love the Gospel.
