I lived in Indiana- we were converts, and my parents were sealed here. I remember all the ways we tried to raise $- fish fry’s,parking lot attendants for the fairgrounds,pizza sales traveling around iN and Ohio county fairs selling ice cream and elephant ears,and had a large family assessment to pay-we loved that temple so much, mom& dad spent a whole week there after it was dedicated. I was sealed to them in Provo, took my own endowment out in Mesa and was sealed to my husband in San Diego (the week it was dedicated). When I was young I had a goal to visit every temple, but the Lord is building them too fast-His kingdom is rolling faster than I can. Oh well, that’s one goal I will gladly modify.
I 1st saw this Temple in the Summer of 1976 when I was hitch hiking to Texas. A man in a van picked up my brother in law & I, as we drove past the Temple I stared at this beautiful edifice. I told the driver that I would go there some day. He looked at me and laughed (I had shoulder length hair, faded & patched blue jeans and a head band). Time went by and on Dec. 25th 1977 I was Baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The following February I entered this beautiful Temple with a group of Single Adults from Northern Pennsylvania. I returned several times for about 2 years. In May 1980 I again returned to this wonderful building prior to serving a two year mission in Northern California. In 1986 I was sealed in this Temple and worked for nearly 18 months as a member of the Safety/Security Team. It is still one of my favorite Temples.
Hi Ray, thanks for sharing your experience. We hope you feel peace and joy in your decision to follow Jesus Christ! www.comeuntochrist.org/articles/baptism?cid=42001274
@@jaeboogie2786 Being SEALED in the Temple is our way of saying that we are married for All Time and All Eternity. We will remain married even after death! My husband and I were Sealed in the Atlanta Georgia Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for all time and all eternity. He passed away in February. He was actually sealed to his parents as a young boy in the Washington D.C. Temple. That means that he will be their son forever.
This is where I had my first temple experience, 75 baptisms in 2 days. This is where, about a year and a half after completing my mission, I returned to the temple and felt like I was home for the first time since I left for my mission. This is where, after my parents came back to church and received temple recommends for the very first time, I was sealed to Mom and Dad. This is where I took my new bride for our honeymoon. Before the Toronto temple was dedicated, it was a 12 hour drive to this, the nearest temple, but I always looked forward to those trips. I'm joyful that it has been so lovingly restored and upgraded.
This is the temple me and my husband got married in. I’m so excited to bring our children to see this beautiful and sacred building in the coming weeks.
My husband and I were sealed on April 28, 2000. When we first got to the temple I had to touch the outside wall to make I wasn't dreaming that I truly was in this Holy House. In the early morning I kept waking up just to look at the temple. At 4:30 I woke up and saw the Angel Moroni bath in white light. My heart sang. On our temple sealing anniversary we go to the temple. I would love to go back later this year while we are on the east coast.
Our entire Animal Care Specialist class used to go on our runs right by the Temple. I had never seen one before. I will never forget it. We were chanting/singing/calling cadence to a song we had made up about the bones/systems from head to tail for veterinary tech school and we were on some body part and I looked up and asked what in the world that was! Our instructor said, it's the Washington D.C. Temple. This was long ago in the 80's when the veterinary techs for the Army trained near Walter Reed. I had zero idea that 14-15 years later I would be going thru the ceremonies inside in the Houston Temple for the first time after a year of joining. It was the most beautiful thing, the peace inside is amazing. I would love to get married there.
I served a mission in the Eastern Atlantic States and was able to attend the groundbreaking along with all the missionaries in our mission. Hugh B. Brown spoke. Our mission President was Norman Bowman. I presently serve in the Snowflake Arizona temple. I will be forever thankful for what happens in the temple. It changes hearts and brings us so close to the veil. Thank you Father for this gift.
As a 14-year-old in McLean Ward, I and my family attended the original open house and sat in the Solemn Assembly room during the dedication in 1974. I remember the temple donation drives to collect around $4M as our temple districts ‘offering’. What a blessing to have returned to this area 35 years after we left and be able to participate in its second open house and rededication. This temple is special to me and my wife as both of us took out our endowments here and were sealed. No other temple matches this one in majesty.
I lived in DC in the 80's. I remember the impact this temple had when rounding the corner of the beltway at night and seeing such a nearly unbelievable building, as if suspended in space above the trees. Little did I know that forty years later two young missionaries would knock on my door bringing me the gift of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you for sharing your very special experiences!
As a missionary in 1968 I was at the ground breaking for the temple. I have been there several times since then. It is still a magnificent temple and I am glad it has been restored.
Growing up in Philadelphia, Pa and as a convert to the church this is where I received my endowment Before serving my 2 years mission. Such a blessing and honor to come here . I can’t wait to go back . The gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true . Without a doubt. I know . 🙏🏽
I received my blessings in this temple in 2001. It truly is unlike any other place on earth and while there my heart always felt softer, I always felt more inclined to God and I felt so much mercy and love. I live far away now and cannot attend the open house but what they have done with it is wonderfully beautiful.
The Original Architect, Keith W. Wilcox, envisioned this holy structure prior to its creation on paper. He and his beautiful wife Viva May Wilcox for ever changed my life while serving as my Mission President. Thank you 🙏 President & Sister Wilcox.
If I ever get to cross the pond to the States, this is the temple I would most like to visit. It has always fascinated me. It's structure in one of a simple elegance and beauty. It's great to be able to see inside so many temples with the videos that are being sown here.. Wonderful.
I got to see the Washington, DC Temple with my parents when I was 14 years old. Even though we never went inside it (during a remodeling), it was really beautiful on the outside! I even visited the Visitor's Center and I would love to go inside of the temple someday.
I really love the futuristic mid century interpretation of the exterior that reflects the Salt Lake temple. So wonderful to see it complete, wish we could come see.
Such an amazing place that I am glad I can go through. When I joined in 1999 to do baptisms there, I knew I was where I had to be. At these iconic temples, I have received more answers through prayer.-Chad James
It's amazing to know that I can be a part of it and can partake of these incredible blessings of these latter days. These temples are so beautiful and majestic. What a blessing to be alive in this time
I am returning for my 2nd Visit in 48 years. I was an 8 year old boy when I was at the 1st Open House back in the Fall of 1974. I still have memories of what the church looked like even back then !
As a convert to the church this temple was also the first one and only temple within the church I ever been to. I had received my endowment blessings there just a year or two before it closed for the renovations in 2018.
Having interviewed the architect of Washington Temple, he said the theme of this temple is enlightenment. And one can see the light permiate the entire area. It makes one focus on the love of Christ and how his glory en gulfs us
" I love to see the Temple. I'm going there someday. To feel the Holy Spirit to listen and to pray. For the temple is a holy place. A place of love and beauty. I'll prepare myself while I am young. This is my sacred duty. I love to see the Temple. I'll go inside someday. I'll covenant with my Father. I'll promise to obey. For the temple is a house of God where we are sealed together. As a child of God I've learned this truth - a FAMILY IS FOREVER " . Janice Kapp Perry
Beautiful Temple. And great video too. It'd be great if the Church would create videos like this to show the interior of other temples. It's great for people like me that will not be able (probably) to visit.
I've seen the outside part when I visited my sister in-law, nieces, nephew and his boyfriend last November 2021 in Maryland. The chapel is just footsteps away. We didn't have the chance to attend the Sunday service. Now it's open again, surely will go inside and do some proxy for the dead. I love all Houses of the Lord.
I remember travelling to the Washington Temple from Sudbury Ontario before temples were built in Toronto, Montreal, Palmyra and Detroit. It was an overnight trip but well worth it. Thank you.
I have lived minutes away from here going north on 29, in basically Colesville, Fairland, for my entire life, almost 40 years, so traveling the beltway is a part of life. Rounding that bend and seeing the temple there, it is incredible looking. I always referred to it as Cinderella's castle. Wasn't until tonight I sought out what it looks like inside. Man thats just incredible. I bet there's a "No Milkshake" rule everywhere, I'd hate to be the one to put a stain in any of those carpets!
I had the privilege of attending the Washington DC temple upon completion of my mission in Ohio. Two other Elders and myself flew from Cleveland to attend the temple before going to our various homes.
We visited Washington DC temple in 1988, on a visit from South Africa. The temple was beautiful then, and looks stunning now. A lasting memory of our visit, aside from the beauty of the temple and ceremony, was a comment one of the workers said to my wife. He said ‘I like your accent!’
As a side note. It was inspired to build this temple in the 70's. I bet today, to build such a religious structure in DC would have tremendous opposition!
Remarkable video. Could we just add that people of all faiths, as well as people who do not identify with any faith or religion, are welcome to come and visit this iconic temple?
I was there as a 13 year old in 1977. It was my first temple and, for me, the most beautiful in the Church. I wept with the joy of the Holy Spirit throughout the video presentation.
On September 12, 2001, I entered this temple for an endowment session. The day before, I was wearing my military uniform and we still felt like our nation was under attack. I had planned to go to the Pentagon on 9/11, but changed my mind that day. One in my chain of command was killed when the Pentagon was struck, and the local fire department I had worked with responded there. Not long afterward, I would be doing research at Ground Zero, staying in Manhattan with my family. But on 9/12/2001, as I entered the Washington D.C. Temple and saw that magnificent mural--with the toppling towers and smoke with those in despair and confusion in the foreground, and with the Savior standing near the Washington D.C. Temple painted on the other side and those to His right gazing upon him in adoration--I was amazed because that painting appeared to represent the moment in time we were experiencing! It appeared to have just been painted! As we prayed in the temple that day, I knew I was standing in a holy place (see D&C 45:32). I have many wonderful memories of this temple--and wish we could be there for the open house!
Paul Buehner (of Buehner Block, SLC) was my husband's first (of three) Mission Presidents. From what my husband has said on many occasions, President Buehner was a very good man and a hard worker. My husband was serving in the Ohio Columbus Mission Home with President Buehner (originally on Wimbledon Road, Columbus, Ohio) and he wrote in his journal many interesting stories about when Buehner Block supplied much of the external façade to the original Washington, D.C. Temple building. Time sure has gone by fast since then!!!
it's so pretty and lovely l can just feel the spirit of the Lord upon the earth. am very great full for the plan of salvation, how beautiful they temples are, the most calmest place on the universe. l love the Temple.
the plan of salvation is beautifully simple. and, simply beautiful. I would be cosmically orphaned without the gospel of Jesus Christ. Thanks be to God for such a place as this. Reminding us of things as they really are, and of things as they really will be.
Forty-five years ago we used to drive all the way from the Gulf Coast of Mississippi to this Temple just to get married. But now Mormon Temples -- for better or worse -- now dot the land of the US. I remember when I went in by myself for the first time, I got so lost!
Love this Sacred House of the Lord..where we receive eternal covenants needed for us to receive the blessings of eternity.. individually and as a family.
You must behave in the House of the Lord. My friend & I was doing a session when I noticed I can make the seat squeak. Oh no this can’t be happening & I need to be reverent focusing on the instructions but the little kid in me was focused on the squeaky seat. My friend finally heared it & knew what I was doing. He hits me & we start laughing. The Lord wasn’t pleased with me & He had that seat fixed in a hurry. After laughing I tried to make it squeak again & it wouldn’t. It was as if someone on the other side of the veil sprayed it with WD40. I fully paid attention & was more reverent after that. I know it’s the Lord’s House & it is in order.
God's house is beautiful. It is lovely because it is unparalleled in its beauty and it is enduring because it is infinite in holiness but truly eternal on earth and in heaven. I am happy to have it because it is the sacred place to unite our family as an eternal family.
Absolutely stunning, as a house of our Heavenly Father should be! But the house pales in comparison to the works preformed there, everlasting, as are we. ....
I'm reminded of the story plot of the old black and white movie classic "the bishops wife". The angel said to the bishop of this great cathedral church they were trying to build....that the cost of just its roof sure could build a whole bunch of little roofs for the poor. 😔 We, our bodies, are the temple of the Lord Jesus Christ. He lives in those who are his. 1 Corinthians 3:16,17
I understand that many may feel that way but just as the children of Israel were asked to give their very best for the Tabernacle and then the Temple we do the same today. The church also gives millions of dollars in aid around the world and church members give of their time and talent to local community service.
@@kathleencoles1749 I also understand that, taking care of the poor and the voiceless is our first priority, but the best we can give is our hearts, everything else is just works. The word says our works are as filthy rags. We are different than the Israelites, they had not yet had their sins atoned for by their Messiah. So the Father put great emphasis on works and the importance of the temple for all to see. But now that the Messiah our Savior has finished the works with his blood atonement, we are to Iive by faith. Faith that he is all we need. We are the temple. He is in us and we are in him and together we are in the Father; by faith, not by a how impressive we can be. He is not impressed. It is by the fruit of living holy lives with our bodies, his temple; the fruits of the spirit that he indwells in. And these fruits flow from us to all around us at every moment and every day to all who we are able to help and comfort.

There's nothing on Earth that is so Peaceful than being inside a Temple of this Church.

Temple building. Time sure has gone by fast since then!!!
A pillar of light❤️
it's so pretty and lovely l can just feel the spirit of the Lord upon the earth. am very great full for the plan of salvation, how beautiful they temples are, the most calmest place on the universe. l love the Temple.
Finally! The moment I've been waiting for! It's coming back!
the plan of salvation is beautifully simple. and, simply beautiful. I would be cosmically orphaned without the gospel of Jesus Christ. Thanks be to God for such a place as this. Reminding us of things as they really are, and of things as they really will be.
Beautiful comment. Thank you!
I love this. I’m sure all the people in the area are eternally grateful. 😉💛😇
Forty-five years ago we used to drive all the way from the Gulf Coast of Mississippi to this Temple just to get married. But now Mormon Temples -- for better or worse -- now dot the land of the US. I remember when I went in by myself for the first time, I got so lost!
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much!
My favorite Temple always!
Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!
I love the temple and I know that one day I will go and visite It
Hallelujah 🙏♥️

no building is more beauttiful than the temple a piece of heaven on earth
Love it ❤️❤️
Love this Sacred House of the Lord..where we receive eternal covenants needed for us to receive the blessings of eternity.. individually and as a family.
You must behave in the House of the Lord.
My friend & I was doing a session when I noticed I can make the seat squeak. Oh no this can’t be happening & I need to be reverent focusing on the instructions but the little kid in me was focused on the squeaky seat. My friend finally heared it & knew what I was doing. He hits me & we start laughing. The Lord wasn’t pleased with me & He had that seat fixed in a hurry. After laughing I tried to make it squeak again & it wouldn’t. It was as if someone on the other side of the veil sprayed it with WD40. I fully paid attention & was more reverent after that. I know it’s the Lord’s House & it is in order.
God's house is beautiful. It is lovely because it is unparalleled in its beauty and it is enduring because it is infinite in holiness but truly eternal on earth and in heaven. I am happy to have it because it is the sacred place to unite our family as an eternal family.
Thank you for your beautiful comment!
Eternally beautiful temple. The house of the Lord.
Absolutely stunning, as a house of our Heavenly Father should be! But the house pales in comparison to the works preformed there, everlasting, as are we. ....
My first experience with a Temple.
Exciting! Are you going to be able to make it to the open house?
Are there any plans to expand building on the property for non-temple related facilities?
My first and favorite temple.
Amazing!!!
Majestic wonders!
I wish god I will come to visit the nice temple
A beautiful temple.
I'm reminded of the story plot of the old black and white movie classic "the bishops wife". The angel said to the bishop of this great cathedral church they were trying to build....that the cost of just its roof sure could build a whole bunch of little roofs for the poor. 😔
We, our bodies, are the temple of the Lord Jesus Christ. He lives in those who are his. 1 Corinthians 3:16,17
I understand that many may feel that way but just as the children of Israel were asked to give their very best for the Tabernacle and then the Temple we do the same today. The church also gives millions of dollars in aid around the world and church members give of their time and talent to local community service.
@@kathleencoles1749 I also understand that, taking care of the poor and the voiceless is our first priority, but the best we can give is our hearts, everything else is just works. The word says our works are as filthy rags. We are different than the Israelites, they had not yet had their sins atoned for by their Messiah. So the Father put great emphasis on works and the importance of the temple for all to see. But now that the Messiah our Savior has finished the works with his blood atonement, we are to Iive by faith. Faith that he is all we need. We are the temple. He is in us and we are in him and together we are in the Father; by faith, not by a how impressive we can be. He is not impressed. It is by the fruit of living holy lives with our bodies, his temple; the fruits of the spirit that he indwells in. And these fruits flow from us to all around us at every moment and every day to all who we are able to help and comfort.
Very beautiful indeed
I wept... "more holiness gives me."
Oh, HAPPY DAY.
