From the large panel declaring “Jesus Christ is risen” to the tiniest forget-me-nots springing up across the grounds, it appears Temple Square is eager for Easter this year.

The public is invited to visit Salt Lake City’s Temple Square this Easter season to see exhibits and visual installations testifying of Jesus Christ. These new displays highlight the life, ministry, and teachings of the Savior while reflecting the hope and joy of the season.

A panel north of the Tabernacle asks, “Who is Jesus Christ?” It’s followed by six panels of scriptures testifying of who He is: Jehovah, the risen Lord, the Messiah, the Redeemer, the Only Begotten Son, and the living Christ.

On the grounds east of the Salt Lake Temple, scripture displays add prophetic witness of He who “taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29) and through whom “the sting of death is swallowed up” (Mosiah 16:8).

Lanterns planted throughout the grounds shed light on titles of the Messiah—Prince, Master, Servant, Alpha and Omega, the Lord God of Israel.
