Beautiful new art glass has recently been installed in the temple entrance buildings on Temple Square.

The artwork depicts sacred scenes from the life, ministry, and teachings of Jesus Christ. One piece portrays the account of Christ ministering to children found in 3 Nephi 17, while another depicts the New Testament account of the resurrected Savior appearing to Mary Magdalene.

Installation required careful coordination and planning. For several days, crews meticulously placed the panels to ensure the delicate pieces were installed safely and precisely.
