Copenhagen Temple

We finally made it to the temple today.  We took the two busses that have become a part of our life and headed the opposite direction from the chapel.  This is in downtown Fredericksburg - not too far from downtown Copenhagen.  This building was originally a stake center.  It is funny to have people say they were baptized here when they were 8.  They are usually our age and the building was remade into a temple in 2004.  You turn a corner and this is what you see.

This is the Celestial Room.  It is stenciled in cobalt blue along the doorframes.  The legs of all of the furniture is done in the old world tulip design.  The Celestial Room would not have looked out of place with the Pennsylvania Dutch that is so popular.  It is a beautiful and restful room.  They couch is terribly uncomfortable.  The chairs fit me better.

This is the most Danish Modern part of the Temple.  It is the staircase, standing at the bottom and looking up to the 4th floor.  The handrails and steps are all lit.  It is beautiful.  It is the staircase you use to get to the dressing room and pretty much anywhere you need to go in the temple.
 
We went to the Danish session, not knowing there was an English one at noon.  However it was very enjoyable.  It was the old film - so we had it about memorized anyway.  I went with headphones but I had them turned down very low so I could hear the Danish.  It was an enjoyable morning.  We will go next week again and then we will have to set up a specific day and time to attend from there on.  The funny thing about going today was that this would have been the Friday we would have worked if we were still at the Boston Temple.
