About the Los Angeles California Temple
Announced in 1937 and dedicated March 11–14, 1956 by President David O. McKay, the Los Angeles Temple was the 10th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the first ever built in California. At the time of its construction it was the largest temple in the Church. The 190,614-square-foot structure stands on 13 beautifully-landscaped acres that feature Canary Island pines, several varieties of palms, olive trees, rare Chinese ginkgo trees, two fountains, a large reflection pool, and family-themed statues. A public visitors' center on the north side of the grounds is home to a representation of Thorvaldsen's Christus statue and the popular Los Angeles Family History Library. At Christmastime the grounds come alive with thousands of lights adorning the many trees and features.
The temple holds several notable distinctions in Church history. It was the first temple built after the Salt Lake Temple to feature both a priesthood assembly room and an Angel Moroni statue. Its spacious assembly room seats approximately 2,000 people with pulpits at each end. It was also the last temple ever designed for live-acting presentation of the endowment. The temple's progressive-style ordinance rooms feature beautiful hand-painted murals — a feature shared by only a small number of temples in the Church. The 15½-foot Angel Moroni statue, placed atop the spire in October 1954, was personally redirected by President McKay after he noticed it faced southeast rather than east.
