No matter what type of faith you have, if any at all, religion sparks at least some interest in almost anyone.

The sheer number of different religions man has followed since the beginning of time is astonishing, but the history and size of certain ones make them harder to learn about than others.

One faith, which anyone of interest can learn the entire history of with relative ease is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, commonly referred to as the Mormon Church, because its entire history dates back only to the 1830’s. And while visiting the Lethbridge and southwestern areas of Alberta, there are plenty of ways to do just that, as several small towns — not to mention more than 5,000 city residents — are made up of a large population of LDS members and descendents of early LDS settlers.

But one town, about 60 km southwest of Lethbridge, houses the most spectacular of all Mormon creations in the entire province. Atop Temple Hill in the town of Cardston lies the first-ever Mormon temple built in Canada and only the eighth-ever constructed period.

While churches sit in almost ever city and town in Western North America, temples are special and only so many are built. And what makes Cardston’s so amazing is the fact it has sat there since it was dedicated in 1923.

Some renovations have certainly took place since but once you look at the photos in the visitor’s centre of the town in that era, you’ll understand just how unbelievably this building really is.

It’s worth the half-hour drive just to take on picture.
