Dedication
The First Presidency has announced that the Manaus Brazil Temple
will be formally dedicated in three sessions on Sunday, June 10, 2012,
at 9:00 a.m., 12:00 noon, and 3:00 p.m. A cultural celebration
featuring music and dance will be held the evening before. Both the
cultural celebration and the dedicatory sessions will be broadcast to
all congregations in Brazil.1
Construction Status
On October 5, 2011, onlookers gathered around the Manaus Brazil
Temple to witness the raising and placement of the gold-leafed angel
Moroni statue atop the single spire. The majority of the exterior stone
has been attached, and work on the adjoining patron housing facility is
progressing simultaneously.
Ground was broken for the temple on the banks of the mighty Rio
Negro on Friday, June 20, 2008. Elder Charles A. Didier presided over
the ceremonial digging for Brazil's sixth temple. The program included
inspiring remarks and musical selections.
Manaus is the capital of the state of Amazonas. It is located on the
Rio Negro about 11 miles above its confluence with the Amazon River.
For the thousands of saints of northern Brazil who for years have
traveled days to reach the Caracas Venezuela Temple, Recife Brazil Temple, or São Paulo Brazil Temple, a temple in Manaus is a blessing indeed.2
