To the Latter-day Saints the temple is literally the house of God. It is a place of worship, of learning, of covenants. A place where ordinances manifest the power of godliness to men. The first temple constructed in this dispensation was the Kirtland House of the Lord in Kirtland, Ohio. In this episode of History of the Saints we will tell you the story of the day of dedication - Sunday, March 27, 1836.
