Architectural details of the Provo City Center Temple

[@TempleScoop]

Such an amazing place that I am glad I can go through. When I joined in 1999 to do baptisms there, I knew I was where I had to be. At these iconic temples, I have received more answers through prayer. -ChadJames

This is soooo cool! My company rebuilt all the stained glass in the mid 90s and then we were commissioned to build the new stained glass for the Temple. I love to see appreciation for the work that went into this place of worship. Thanks for putting this together. I love everything about this building! While the stained glass is my favorite part of the Temple, the seating in the instruction rooms has to be a close second of my favorite features.

[@messagesofChrist]

+Jeremy Lynn Well, your company did a great job! And glad you enjoyed the video.

[@folautribe]

What's the name of the company?

City Center has long been one of my favorite temples. From the first moment I saw the interior dark wood I was in love! Then, I learned about the story of the fire and the restoration and the rich symbolism to remind us of our Savior's atonement and His ability to transform us, restore us, and make us into something far better than we could imagine. Finally, I had the chance to help multiple times to deeply clean the temple where I could observe, up close, the incredible detail of every aspect of the temple! Thanks for such a beautiful video!

[@messagesofChrist]

Yup, one of my favorite temples. I had several incredible experiences listening to choirs and attending conferences in the original so to see it rebuilt was such a blessing.

Beautiful video. Thank you for putting this together. This is the temple where my family was sealed and I’m going today for an endowment session. This information helps me be more appreciative of all the details, to have a better experience while I’m there. Thank you for all your hard work.

I love how descriptive this video is. Makes me appreciate the how much care was taken when restoring this House of the Lord. I do wish videos like this would be prepared before temple open houses and dedications. Thank you for sharing this. You sir have a new subscriber.

[@moogamooga2100]

I wish there was something like this for EVERY temple because I want to appreciate the details as I walk around and see more than just the sheer beauty. I WANT to be reminded of the bond between heaven and earth with the circle and square motif. I WANT to see the Columbine flower and be reminded of the Holy Ghost. These little details make my experience at the temple so much richer. Thank you so very much for this video!

[@messagesofChrist]

I have done three total and do hope to do more at some point.

[@victoria8801]

@@messagesofChrist I have the same thoughts as her. I hope you are able to do more temples at some point, your channel is truly amazing and means a lot to me ! You done a great job explaining the connections and little things that I wish I had known earlier !

[@messagesofChrist]

@@victoria8801 Well, thank you! And glad to hear you have enjoyed the channel! I do hope to eventually do more temple videos, but for right now, I have been focused on the 3D modeling we are doing of Herod's Temple and Jerusalem at the time of Jesus. This has taken most of my time, but I'm still hopeful to someday get back into modern temple videos. For now it is ancient temples and their connections to modern temples!

Wonderfully done! I went through the open house and saw all the beauty, but wondered about the stories behind it all. This finishes my "tour" of this miraculous building. Thank you.

Wonderful video. Glad I can learn so much about it without experiencing most of it.

[@MonsieurNarlan]

Hello ! I have sent a french translation of the subtitles. Many of my friends would enjoy that video, could you please validate the translation ?

[@messagesofChrist]

+MonsieurNarlan Done, and done! Thanks for contributing!

[@MonsieurNarlan]

+Messages of Christ Awesome ! You're welcome :) .

[@cadeellsworth140]

Can you do this for every Temple?

[@messagesofChrist]

+Cade Ellsworth Too many to do for every temple, but I do hope to do more like this.

[@cadeellsworth140]

Cool!

[@cadeellsworth140]

+Messages of Christ So, between this and Payson, which is more detailed?

[@messagesofChrist]

+Cade Ellsworth Payson is very detailed, but I would say the PCCT is still more detailed. Just as an example, the only other murals that can compare to the PCCT are the Nauvoo Temple murals. The woodwork, wallpaper, colors, trim, light fixtures, etc. only can compare to the Nauvoo temple (at least for modern temples). My next temple video will most likely be Payson, so check back in a few months. I have several projects on docket before, but the Payson Temple architectural video will be coming soon!

[@cadeellsworth140]

+Messages of Christ Cool, thanks!

[@davidwright5137]

The work that has gone into the temple is amazing. The video is nice too, but can you create another video without the BYU Cougar reference? While it is a fun detail for members, I find it irrelevant and even potentially off-putting to my non-member friends. I was interested in sharing the video with them, but will not do so now. Thank you.

[@messagesofChrist]

+David Wright Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the feedback, but the BYU reference will stay. The temple mural painters often do this, including animals, landscapes, etc. in the paintings to make a 'nod' so to speak to the city where the temple is. I would include the same detail for any other temple. I have since learned that one of the murals also include Mount Timpanogos, just as an example (which I would have included in the video had I know beforehand).

[@Fishin4funout4trout]

+David Wright GO COUGS!!! The Lord's University

[@elizabethstarley6557]

+David Wright My husband and I are both U of U grads and huge fans and the cougar reference didn't bother us at all. It is what it is, because the painters are fans. It's no big deal.

[@elizabethstarley6557]

+Geoffrey Bailey Except for the school where all the prophets and apostles actually attend. ;)

[@Fishin4funout4trout]

+Elizabeth Starley Really? You mean like former BY Presidents Holland and Oaks, and Elder Bednar? President Monson has a master's from BYU. U of U is a WAY different school now than the one President Hinckly, etc. went to. It's a total lobby school now where most of the professors hate the church and consider it oppressing to their "progressive" ideals. There are some professors there that say anti things about the church in their lectures. Hey, what is the main thing that U students and Y students have in common? Answer? They BOTH applied to BYU.

This is how you Mormons spend your money!? Absolutely shameful! Think about how many starving people around the world you could help! Disgusting!

[@JuneTreeDraws]

m.motherjones.com/politics/2007/12/mormons-rescue also, all money that goes towards temples and churches is donated from the members themselves, not from any of the business associated with the church. A seperate donation center has one of the largest food collection and distribution facilities that there are, larger than a Costco, to help the hungry and those who are in need.

[@tjazzmcneil5514]

BluVortechx My comment still stands, they are wasting so much money on these extravagances that could be used to actually help people.

[@calathan]

+TJazz MCNeil Troll harder next time.

[@Federico84]

+TJazz MCNeil it's true a lot of african kids could've eaten that wood and lamps

[@tjazzmcneil5514]

***** Nothing you've said negates the fact that this is unnecessarily extravagant and a waste of money. Even if I waste money, does it mean the Mormons don't? See the logical fallacy you've committed? Donating money doesn't make this less extravagant either. My argument still stands.
