Yesterday’s answer:
c. The consecration of the Temple grounds
The
following from the life of Joshua Midgley, born October 15, 1832: On February
14, 1853, a large celebration was held for the purpose of consecrating the
temple grounds. Although it was in the middle of winter, a large crowd of
thousands was present. They were arranged in the form of a hollow square, with
songs by the Tabernacle Choir and music by the Nauvoo Brass Band. Then, on
April 6, 1853, the twenty-third anniversary of the organization of the Church,
another large ceremony was held on Temple Square for the laying of the
southeast cornerstone of the Temple, again with thousands attending. As was
customary on such occasions, the program again included entertainment by the
band and choir, with appropriate talks and prayers.
