The Atrium, spacious and inviting,
sounds the first notes of light, life, and welcome which are characteristic
of the building.
The Atrium is the central court
of the Temple, where visitors are welcomed and given their first view
of the majesty of the Temple's design and architecture. The Atrium is
paved with Tavernelle marble, centered and bordered with dark green antique
marble. Eight marble benches, echoing the design of the central table,
are located in recesses in the ambulatory formed by eight huge Doric columns
of polished green Windsor granite. The limestone walls reach up to the
ceiling beams.
