Beginning Sunday, May 19, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will dedicate five temples over five Sundays, with the first two dedications to be presided over by the same senior leader in a span of a mere 14 days.

Both are noteworthy and uncommon — but each has been replicated recently and in shorter time periods.

Also, the Church will have another two-temple dedication day in June — something that has happened only a handful of times in the past 20 years. But multiple houses of the Lord have been dedicated on the same day three times over the past year and a half, including a three-dedication day just nine months ago.
