INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — The Cleveland Ohio Temple in northeastern Ohio was dedicated Sunday, Aug. 16, by Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
The temple in the Cleveland suburb of Independence, Ohio, is about 25 miles southwest of historic Kirtland, Ohio, where early members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints built the Church’s first temple — the Kirtland Temple. That temple is operated as a historic site and is open for public tours.
In Doctrine and Covenants 110:10, the Prophet Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery are told in a vision by the Savior in the Kirtland Temple that “the fame of this house shall spread to foreign lands.”
Elder Bednar said, “Now it comes back home.”
