Very interesting - the connection between this song and our temples never occurred to me, but I like it. Thanks!

No problem. Share it with everyone you know!

Funny. I always thought that song made a nice title for the LDS Temple as well. And the lyrics often fit; "Come on Restoration, wash my body clean." Oh well, a pleasant, albeit unintended coincidence.

[BeeDub57]

True. I always thought it would be someone else who saw the connections and made a music video like this. No one did, so it fell to me.

[Xenostars]

Funny thing; I heard this song for the first time the other day and it made me think about the temple and I wondered if anyone else felt that way. Then I log in to Youtube, type in "Stone and Light" and "temple," and lo and behold....

"building for worship," O.E. tempel, from L. templum "piece of ground consecrated for the taking of auspices, building for worship," of uncertain signification. Commonly referred either to PIE base *tem- "to cut," on notion of "place reserved or cut out," or to PIE base *temp- "to stretch," on notion of cleared space in front of an altar. Fig. sense of "any place regarded as occupied by divine presence" was in O.E. Applied to Jewish synagogues from 1598.
