Anchorage Alaska Temple
The stained glass is reminiscent of water, and stylized evergreens with patterns resembling native designs are used to adorn interior furnishings.[2] Hinckley dedicated the temple on January 9, 1999, with more than six thousand members from as far away as the Yukon braving the freezing weather.In 2020, like all others in the church, the Anchorage Alaska Temple was temporarily closed in response to the coronavirus pandemic.[3] In January 2023, the church announced plans to relocate the Anchorage Alaska Temple to the nearby spot currently occupied by a meetinghouse.Following dedication of the temple in its new location, the existing structure will be decommissioned and removed, with a meetinghouse then built on the land.
