奥克兰圣殿

奥克兰圣殿于1964年11月19日竣工并开始运作。它是世界上第13座正在运营的圣殿。它最近进行了一些大规模的整修，于2019年完成。

On January 23, 1961, the plans for the Oakland temple were announced by David O. Mckay, the Prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The grounds were broken on May 26th, 1962.

The Temple resides on an 18.3-acre lot, within the Oakland Hills, which The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints purchased in 1942. The first building located on the lot was the chapel, an auditorium, and a large cultural hall, called the Inter-Stake Center (ISC). This space is used for large Latter-Day Saint (Mormon) Gatherings. This was followed by the temple and later the visitor center.

灵感来源

奥克兰圣殿是由Harold W. Burton设计的，他梦想着通过建造没有窗户的后期圣徒圣殿来庆祝这个现代世界。Burton希望让奥克兰圣殿展示出现代世界的美感，例如空调，暖气和人造照明。

该建筑物的外壳完全由水泥制成，一直都没有窗户，直到最近的整修。

Burton was inspired by the cultural influence which surrounded the Bay Area. The Temple’s five spires are based from Asian architecture. This approach is also noticeable in the upturned roofs and railings. Even the paintings which depict stories from, The Book of Mormon, are painted in an Eastern technique. The purpose of this was to match the Bay’s unique history and style.

现在的圣殿山

Some residents in the Bay Area refer to the Oakland Temple as the “mormon temple” or “Oakland’s Disneyland”. Local members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints know it simply as the Oakland Temple, though members often refer to the complex of buildings as Temple Hill.

Now claiming the title, “Beacon of the Bay,” the Oakland Temple lights its way for many. It is a source of inspiration and hope to many members of the Church of Jesus Christ and friends alike. This temple has carved its mark into the Oakland history.
