Mesa Arizona Temple Pictures

The Mesa Temple is one of the oldest and most historically significant temples in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — a distinctive flat-roofed structure with terra cotta tile facing and sculpted corner friezes, anchoring a historic district in the heart of Mesa since 1927. Rededicated in December 2021 following a sweeping three-and-a-half-year renovation, it is more beautiful today than at any point in its nearly century-long history. Our collection of Mesa Temple pictures, art prints, and paintings captures this beloved landmark in a wide range of styles and sizes.

About the Mesa Arizona Temple

Announced October 3, 1919, groundbreaking held April 25, 1922, and dedicated October 23–26, 1927 by President Heber J. Grant, the Mesa Temple is the 7th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the first ever built in Arizona. The 75,000-square-foot temple sits on 20 meticulously-maintained acres at 101 South LeSueur in Mesa, just east of the original Latter-day Saint pioneer townsite. Its exterior is faced with glazed eggshell-colored terra cotta tiles and features carved friezes at each corner depicting Isaiah's prophecy that the Lord would gather his people from the four corners of the earth. The architects who designed it had recently completed the Utah State Capitol Building. Before the Mesa Temple was built, Arizona members made the long journey to the St. George Utah Temple — and the well-worn wagon road used by so many bridal parties on that journey became known throughout the region as the Honeymoon Trail.

The Mesa Temple holds a remarkable list of firsts. It was the first temple to present the endowment in a language other than English — Spanish, beginning in 1945 — and for many years it was known as the "Lamanite Temple," serving as the cherished destination for annual temple excursions by Hispanic and Native American members across the Southwest and Mexico. It features four progressive-style ordinance rooms with hand-painted murals, making it one of only seven temples where patrons pass through four rooms before the Celestial Room. The temple closed May 19, 2018 for an extensive renovation that overhauled the grounds, replaced the reflection pools, built a new visitors' center, preserved the shade trees, and restored and augmented the historic interior murals. President Dallin H. Oaks rededicated it on December 12, 2021. Each Easter season the grounds host Jesus the Christ, the largest annual outdoor Easter pageant in the world, drawing thousands of visitors. At Christmas, hundreds of thousands of lights transform the grounds into one of the Phoenix area's most beloved holiday traditions.
