The Kirtland Temple Collection
Kirtland Temple Miracles
Faith-promoting accounts from the House of the Lord in Kirtland — dedicated on March 27, 1836 amid a pentecostal outpouring, and the place where the Savior appeared to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery. Visions, angelic ministrations, and heavenly manifestations recorded in that sacred house. Each account is also sorted into its proper miracle type, so this collection gathers a place, not a separate kind of miracle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Kirtland Temple Miracles collection?
It is a curated category of faith-promoting accounts set in or tied to the Kirtland Temple — the first temple of this dispensation, dedicated on March 27, 1836. Accounts include the pentecostal outpouring at the dedication, the appearance of the Savior to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery, angels seen and heard in the temple, and other heavenly manifestations. Each account is also sorted into its proper miracle type, so the temple collection is a place-category rather than a separate kind of miracle.
Are Kirtland Temple miracles counted twice in the archive total?
No. Every account is a single record. A Kirtland Temple story that involves a vision, for example, is categorized under 'Visions' as its miracle type and also tagged as a Kirtland Temple account. The total number of miracles in the archive never double-counts it.
How can I browse Kirtland Temple miracles by what happened?
Use the 'Browse by Miracle Type' grid on this page to see temple accounts grouped by the kind of miracle — visions, angels, heavenly manifestations, prophecies, and more. You can also browse by the decade the account is set in.
