The Nauvoo Temple was announced on April 4, 1999 by Church President Gordon B. Hinckley, it has been build on the same site as the first Nauvoo Temple of 1840's and is a near duplicate of the original temple exterior. The limestone, quaried in Alabama, is indistinguishable from the stone used on the original temple. Each circular window on the fourth floor contains a large star made of red, white, and blue colored glass, as did the original windows and are called morning stars. the height of the temple, to the top of the angel Moroni statue, is 162 feet 5 inches. The doors and window frames replicating the originals were handcrafted in Nauvoo and the glass, made in France and Germany, is the same type of glass made in the late 1700s and early 1800s.
Temples are the most sacred places on Earth for members of the LDS Church. Ordinances for Ancestors are performed as an act of love. What one learns in the temple gives meaning and direction to one's life. Temple worship teaches one about the Savior. The Temple helps one commit to living lives of morality, integrity and service. Temple worship focuses one's life on Jesus Christ. Family ties are made eternal in the Temple. Temple instsruction increases one's spirituality.
