Manti, Utah, USA Temple

History

On the morning of April 25, 1877, President Brigham Young and Elder Warren S. Snow went to what is now known as Temple Hill. President Young stood where the Manti Temple would later be built and said, “Here is the spot where the prophet Moroni stood and dedicated this piece of land for a Temple site, and that is the reason why the location is made here, and we can’t move it from this spot…”* The Manti Temple was dedicated May 21, 1888. It was the only temple dedicated by President Lorenzo Snow. In the United States there are only three large scale spiral staircases that do not have a central support system, the Manti Temple houses two of them. The Temple grounds annually host “The Mormon Miracle Pageant”, a live production showcasing the mingled stories of the Restoration of the gospel, the Book of Mormon and the pioneers’ journey to the future home of the Manti Temple in the Sanpete Valley. This is a temple filled with history that spans the ages and stands as a testament that God is directing His children toward the fulfilment of His divine will.

How Temple Coins are Made

Dave started creating jewelry using metals in 1992, ten years later he had worked with nearly every metal in the jewelry industry! Moving to Thailand, he spent the next nine years perfecting his skills with various metals, 3D models and 3D printers. He dreamed of producing something that would bring delight to purchasers and carry with it positive feelings that would touch the souls of those who owned them. In 2014 he was able to realize his dream. Returning to the US, he uses Lost-wax casting to create a metal master from brass alloy for each temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, depicting, in the highest degree of definition possible, a coin with a 3D image of a temple. The reverse of each coin is cast with the words “Stand ye in holy places.”

Purchase one or two of the temples that hold special meaning to you. Commemorate your visit to a temple by picking up the corresponding coin.
