Johannesburg South Africa Temple

Johannesburg South Africa Temple is one of the 147 LDS churches from around the world and is one of the earliest temples constructed in the country. Initially a commercial property of financiers and mining giants, this church was built in 20th Century and continues to impress its visitors with its charming architecture. The contemporary architecture of the church is complemented with spacious and elegant interiors and its signature six tall spikes get it noticed even from a distance. Nestled in the city of Johannesburg, this church is now surrounded by beautiful mansions from 18th Century, commercial complexes, schools and hospitals.

The Lions Shul

The Lions Shul is one of the oldest Jewish places of worship in South Africa and was a part of the first seven original synagogues in the city. However the present facade dates back to 1932, after the original synagogue was majorly damaged in a fire accident. Also known as Doornfontein Synagogue, this synagogue gets its name as Lions Shul due to the sculptures of two lions guarding its entrance. The beautiful synagogue has an old world charm while its interiors are spacious and adorned with beautiful artifacts.

The Johannesburg Melrose Shree Siva Subramaniar Temple

With the growing population of Tamil devotees in Johannesburg, The Johannesburg Melrose Shree Siva Subramaniar Temple was established in the 19th Century. Initially just a small shack-like structure, the temple was majorly renovated during the late 20th Century. However, its present structure dates back to the renovations in 2011 and is dedicated to Lord Muruga (Lord Karthikeya). With around 20,000 devotees coming in every year to offer their prayers, this is one of the most popular temples in South Africa. Besides, the regular prayers and services, The Johannesburg Melrose Shree Siva Subramaniar Temple hosts several cultural festivities and performs weddings with the Tamil ceremonies.

St. Athanasios Greek Orthodox Church

An, as yet, unexplained phenomenon occurs in one of the windows in this stately church each day as the sun is setting. The image resembling the crucifixion of Christ appears in only one of the windows, although it is of the same hue, consistency and construction as all the others. To date, no chemical or physical explanation has been found, and the occurrence is widely accepted as a form of stigmata. The window is of hammered, amber glass and grants an amazingly clear picture of the scenes at Golgotha. For visits, phone and arrange details.
