mar 27, 1836 - Restoration of the Priesthood Keys in the Kirtland Temple

Description:

After nearly three years of struggle and financial sacrifice, the Kirtland Temple was dedicated on March 27, 1836. Miraculous occurrences accompanied the dedication, and one week later, heavenly messengers restored priesthood keys to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery. These keys are a distinguishing feature of the Church and have blessed millions of people who have gathered into the Church. Priesthood keys were then restored through three ancient prophets: Moses, the keys to the gathering of Israel; Elias, the dispensation of the gospel of Abraham; and Elijah, the sealing keys. The ordinances received in the Kirtland Temple were only a partial endowment.
