The open house for the Church of Jesus Christ's Saratoga Springs temple began with a media day on Monday; the first day of the public open house will be Saturday.
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Brynley Roberts, 16, and her sister Taylor Roberts, 14, helped put shoe coverings on people as they entered the Saratoga Springs Temple for a tour on Monday ahead of its opening. They said it is a way to serve people who come see the new temple."We want to keep our holy place respectful and clean," she said.
Sister Kristin M. Yee, second counselor in the church's Relief Society general presidency, said the assignment to come to the beginning of the open house was special to her because she walked around the Saratoga Springs Temple on Sundays with her sister, her brother-in-law and five nieces and nephews as the temple was under construction. She said they walked in the snow and in the sun and anticipated the temple being finished."They've been preparing by going to the temple.
Sister Yee said the beautiful craftsmanship in the temple is symbolic of God's love, and the artwork is designed to remind members of the Savior and the world that he created for them. Elder Kevin R. Duncan, general authority seventy, said, "This is a house of the Lord for us, really is a place of peace. It's a house of hope. We hope that as you tour the temple … that you'll feel that peace and hope that we feel and the joy that this brings to us."
The celestial room of the Saratoga Springs Utah Temple is designed to be a tranquil respite that represents the progression toward Heavenly Father's presence.
