Located in St. George, Utah, the majestic and composed St George Utah temple bestows spirituality, strength and guidance to the people. This holy place was originally known as St. George Temple, one of the oldest LDS temples. Mormonism has a complicated history and was not accepted by many Christians. The state of Utah was remote enough for the LDS church to settle here and start building their temples.
