Nestled in the concrete jungle New York, there is a temple for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. That was where we attended our sacrament meeting on the Sunday we went to New York. The building was separated into two areas, a sacred ordinance section and a section for church services. A first for both of us! After sacrament meeting, we ran into a former member of the Chevy Chase ward - such a small world!
On our way to see the Statue of Liberty!
The vibrant city of Manhattan as a backdrop...
The statue is enormous and is just breathtaking. I am so grateful for this country, the hope & liberty it promised my ancestors who immigrated to this country.
"Lady Liberty"The seven spikes of her crown symbolize the seven continents, her torch symbolizes enlightenment, and engraved on her tablet is the date of the U.S. Declaration of Independence in roman numerals.
"The Sphere & Eternal Flame", in Battery Park, near South Ferry. In memory of the victims of 9/11.
An arch in Central Park leading to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The Metropolitian Museum of Art. I am really a fan of our museums in DC, but I loved the stained glass displays in this one.
