Yesterday’s answer:
(C) Palmyra, New York
The Palmyra New York Temple was dedicated 6
April 2000, exactly one hundred seventy years after the Church was organized on
6 April 1830. Never before in this dispensation have so many members been able
to witness the dedication of a temple.
When the dates were announced, it was also announced that the dedication
would be broadcast from the temple in Palmyra to the Salt Lake Tabernacle. The
response was tremendous. After ticket requests for the broadcast topped two
hundred thousand, the First Presidency decided to broadcast the dedication to
all satellite-equipped stake centers in North America. It was estimated that
the total number of Latter-day Saints in attendance at the dedication was 1.5
million.
