It has been a delight to watch the building of the Cedar City Temple as we would fly by on Interstate 15 heading south to Arizona. It is located on the west side of town and from a distance looking south from the freeway it reminded me of the Nauvoo Temple. It opened for a public viewing last November so we stopped by on our way south last November.
It has simple lines but is beautiful both inside and out. Each temple bears the words, "Holiness to the Lord, The House of the Lord" at the entrance. This is the front of the Cedar City Temple.
It was a bright and sunshiny day, thus the dark blue sky.
I loved several features on the inside including a painting in the baptistery which is a larger version of the same artwork that I pass each time I provide service in my home temple, the Provo City Center Temple. Columbine flowers, ceder trees, feathers, and other symbols of the area are part of the interior decor and stone work. It was a pleasure to visit this temple.
