One Moment At A Time: Sacred Ground

Friday, July 9, 2010

If you have followed my blog for anytime you might know of my obsession for cemeteries.

I love the SLC cemetery it is truly sacred ground

I love seeing the resting places of the different Latter-day Prophets.

President Spencer W. Kimball's with the petrified wood.

President J. Reuben Clark (I didn't know his first name was Joshua)

The Christmas Box Angel monument

and some headstones I could not read

Elder Ballard who dedicated South America for the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Willford Woodruff

and Porter Rockwell

Pres Gordon B. Hinckley and his wife Marjorie Pay Hinckley

Pres. David O. McKay

We also visited the Pioneer Cemetery where

the 2nd Prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints

Brigham Young is buried.

What a wonderful day to spend on such Sacred Ground.

I lived in SLC for 5 years and never even knew about that cemetary. I went to "This is the place" monument and the Beehive House, etc. but it would have been cool to see this. I'll have to go if I get to Utah again!

Thanks!; July 11, 2010 at 8:52 AM
