La Luz del Mundo is a restorationist Christian denomination with temples primarily in the Americas. Like Jehovah's Witnesses but unlike most Christian denominations, LLDM does not use the Christian cross; therefore, renderers should avoid symbolizing LLDM temples with the cross.
How to identify
LLDM temples are typically named "Iglesia La Luz del Mundo", even in English-speaking countries. [1] Some are also named "The Light of the World Church" in English. [2][3] Do not confuse LLDM temples with non-LLDM churches that happen to be called "La Luz del Mundo" or "Light of the World", such as this COGIC church.
LLDM temples do not have a uniform appearance but may be identified in street-level imagery by one or more of the following characteristics:
- Aaron's rod on top of the building [4]
- Menorahs in front [5]
- The church's full official name in Spanish or English [6][7]
- The LLDM logo, featuring a column, book of scripture, globe, and S-shaped ribbon [8]
- The monogram of church leader Naasón Joaquín García (NJG) [9]
- "La Luz del Mundo" in gold lettering and the absence of a cross or other denomination name [10][11]
- A prominent banner commemorating Samuel Joaquín Flores' 50-year ministry ending in 2014 [12][13][14]
How to map
Either map the overall temple grounds as a amenity=place_of_worship landuse=religious area or map the specific temple building as amenity=place_of_worship building=*.
