Lay Hawaiian Temple
The Lai'e-Hawaii Temple was the fifth temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints from now the world more than 100. It was built on the site of a former sugar cane - plantation built, which was acquired. 1865 Local materials were used for construction. The temple (in the photo background) should be similar in appearance to the Solomonic Temple , as far as it can still be reconstructed today. Visitors to the nearby Polynesian Culture Center (PCC) have the opportunity to take a free bus tour to visit a museum attached to the temple (called Visitor Center, in the front right of the photo), which is also open to any other tourist. The history, meaning and purpose of temples in Judaism and Christianity are presented, with a guide if desired. A second Hawaii temple is in Kona, Big Island.
