Throughout our mortal journey, God gives us symbols to help us better understand Him and His ways. We have the blessing and responsibility to look beyond the earthly representations around us that we might comprehend the things of eternity. God’s holy temples are one of many evidences of His love. It is in the temples that we have a more direct conduit to the peace, joy and understanding that God has send us here to find and experience. The temples are richly symbolic, inside and out. If we are prepared spiritually, these symbols open up our minds to more fully comprehend God’s plan for us.
