Immerse yourself in the teachings and miracles of Jesus Christ by coming to the Visitors’ Center and seeing this marvelous stained glass exhibit that is 8 feet tall by 30 feet wide and full of inspiring symbolism, developed by Holdman Studios.
Using an interactive app available on the App Store specifically designed for the display, you can scan the stained glass in front of you and hear verses and stories from Jesus Christ’s mortal ministry as contained in the New Testament in the Bible.
All are welcome and entrance and parking are free!
You can get Church materials and clothing at the distribution center. There is a large selection of Bibles, copies of the Book of Mormon, and Triple Combinations. We also have hymn books, “Come Follow Me” and self-reliance manuals, children’s story books, Church magazines, small pictures, and more.
The Washington D.C. Temple was the first Latter-day Saint temple to be built on the East Coast of the United States. Completed in 1974, it is the third-largest temple in the world.
Visitors from all over the world come to this sacred site for its beauty and religious significance. Members of the Church gather inside the temple for sacred religious ceremonies that bring them closer to God, while tourists come to view the temple grounds and enjoy the Visitors’ Center. There is something for everyone at the Washington D.C. Temple.
