“I will never forget the day near the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic when we had to make the excruciating decision to close the temples,” he said. “The rapid spread of the virus made this decision inevitable, but it was a painful one.”
-President Nelson
President Russell M. Nelson started the week by recognizing that all temples currently not under construction or undergoing renovations have now been opened on some level of operations with COVID-19 restrictions. The Kyiv Ukraine Temple was the last of 168 temples to open Monday after the closures from COVID-19. The Kyiv Ukraine Temple has been closed since March 2020! The decision to close the temples was not easy, President Nelson said on his social media.
With the reopenings now underway for all available temples, he said members around the world should celebrate this opportunity to do redemptive work in the temples.“Now, with the temples open, our work for those on both sides of the veil can be resumed. To have all our temples reopened, at least to some degree, is a cause for rejoicing,” he said.
“May we cherish the blessings of the House of the Lord and attend the temple as often as our circumstances permit,” President Nelson wrote.
