Port-au-Prince Haiti Temple, Religious temple in Pétion-Ville, Haiti
Description
The Port-au-Prince Haiti Temple is a religious structure in Pétion-Ville with exterior walls of limestone composite material and multiple rooms for different religious functions. The building contains an instruction room, a sealing room, and a baptistry for religious ceremonies.
History
The building was constructed following a groundbreaking ceremony in October 2017 and opened to the public in September 2019. The opening marked an important moment for the religious community in Haiti.
Culture
The building displays regional design elements with blue, green, and gold patterns representing palm leaves and hibiscus flowers found throughout the Caribbean. These colors and motifs reflect the natural beauty and heritage of the island.
