As Holy Week approaches, new statues in Salt Lake City’s Temple Square depict the Savior suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane and carrying His cross before the Crucifixion.
In a class at RootsTech 2026, Shaun Stahle spoke on how the Salt Lake Temple has brought and will bring people together in the past, present and future.
A Church News video shows the temple's west towers free of scaffolding, marking one of the "clearest signs that the long-term construction work is nearing completion.”
President Brigham Young, who was a carpenter, glazier and painter, said to cancel everything on Valentine’s Day in 1853. He said he was going to break ground for the Salt Lake Temple, and if people wanted to talk to him, they could bring a pick or a shovel.
