Workers adhered the canvas murals to the plaster walls in the temple’s world room. The murals depict God’s hand in the sweep of human history from the tower of babel to what Latter-day Saints believe is the establishment of Zion in the American West. Latter-day Saint temples are a sacred place for Church members to visit and make sacred promises with God, like keep His commandments or marriage promises. Information about tour reservations will be available later on reservations.ChurchofJesusChrist.org. The free tour includes a walking tour through the temple. The full tour of the historic Manti Utah Temple includes many stairs; a limited main-floor tour is also available.

Church leaders announced plans to construct the Manti temple June 25, 1875. Church President Brigham Young broke ground April 25, 1877, and President Wilford Woodruff, then president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and later the Church’s fourth President, dedicated the temple on May 21, 1888. Almost a century later, in June 1985, President Gordon B. Hinckley, then a counselor in the First Presidency, rededicated the temple following renovation. Original plans to construct the house of the Lord in Manti were announced on June 25, 1875, by then President Brigham Young. Ground was broken on April 25, 1877, and Wilford Woodruff, then president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, dedicated the temple on May 21, 1888. After a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is built or has undergone an extensive renovation, it is generally opened for public tours prior to being dedicated or rededicated.

After the dedication or rededication, Church members with temple recommends can enter to perform sacred ordinances. On May 1, 2021, President Nelson announced plans to preserve “the pioneer craftsmanship, artwork and character” of the Manti temple — as well as plans to construct a second temple in Utah’s Sanpete Valley in the city of Ephraim. A closure date of Oct. 1, 2021, was set to start the multiyear renovations. After the open house, the temple will be rededicated on Sunday, April 21, the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced Monday.

The Manti Utah Temple will be rededicated on Sunday, April 21, and the service will be broadcast to local units in the temple district. Additional information regarding the rededication — including times of sessions and who will be presiding — will be announced later. Reservations are now available online to tour the renovated historic Manti Utah Temple during the public open house, via reservations.churchofjesuschrist.org. This house of the Lord is one of 28 temples in Utah, which is home to nearly 2.2 million Latter-day Saints. Some expressed dismay when church officials announced in early 2021 that walls inside the temple bearing priceless Minerva Teichert murals would be removed because of damage. The Manti Temple is one of four pioneer-era temples that the church’s leader, President Russell M. Nelson, said would be restored.
