Salt Lake Temple Candle Arch Schwibbogen

Description

This beautiful double arch will be a festive addition to your home decor, adding sparkle to your home. This historic Salt Lake City Utah landmark is a temple of the the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. At 253,015 square feet (23,505.9 m2), it is the largest LDS temple by floor area. Dedicated in 1893, it is the sixth temple completed by the church, requiring 40 years to complete, and the fourth temple built since the Mormon exodus from Nauvoo, Illinois in 1846. The magnificent Gothic, 6 spire temple constructed of granite, is the centerpiece of the 10 acre (4.0 ha) Temple Square. With its distinctive spires and the statue of the angel Moroni, the Salt Lake Temple is an international symbol of the church. The temple is the first temple to feature a standing angel Moroni statue, which is 14 feet tall and attached to a rod that extends 27 feet into the tower, terminating with a 4,000 pound counterbalance to keep the statue immovable. The walls of the Temple are nine feet thick at the base and six feet thick at the top. Not only at Christmas time, but all through the year this Schwibbogen will be a beautiful addition to your home decor. All arches are hand made of premium Baltic Birch. Attractive gift box and gift card included.
