The San Diego California Temple was recently recognized by Times of San Diego for having “the best Christmas lights in San Diego,” according to an article posted Monday on the news website.
According to Ken Carr, director of grounds and lights for the Sights and Sounds of Christmas Committee, the display includes over 150,000 lights and is the result of an estimated 2,500 hours of work completed by more than 300 volunteers.
The article poses the question, “Why do Mormons work so hard on the lights and music at 7474 Charmant Drive?”
“They do it to let their friends and neighbors know that they are Christian — that they believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Savior of the world and that he is the center of their religion,” Carr told Times of San Diego.
