The New Zealand Herald reported this week that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints "unveiled its 150th temple on Monday—a renovated historical tabernacle in Provo that nearly burned down in 2010."
The report continues:
"The temple's red brick exterior and backstory are unique, but the interior features the same staples that make such buildings deeply sacred places for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
"Walls throughout the latest three-story facility are lined with elaborate religious paintings displayed in golden frames. The marble baptismal font 'used to baptize deceased family members' sits atop 12 oxen sculptures.
"A spire with a gold sculpture of the angel Moroni sits atop the structure—the signature of all Mormon temples."
