Provo City Center Temple

Uh, the architectural, uh, drawings for this draw on uni- Utah's unique heritage and landscape.

It echoes the craftsmanship of early Utah communities and religious architecture of Provo, Utah, including the former Brigham Young Academy, now the Provo City Center Library, and the, uh, previous, and the Provo City Center Temple, which was previously the Provo Tabernacle.

It will have all the modern learning features you'd expect in order to provide a state-of-the-art medical education experience.

Okay, so without further ado, here is the future home of BYU's School of Medicine.

We saw that when the Provo Tabernacle burned.

And I believe that's the title of that temple now, the Provo City Center Temple.

It is beauty from ashes.

And what an incredible, talk about a glorious place for God's feet.

And I will craft something beautiful out of it.

Just wait and see.

The Provo City Center Temple is an architectural wonder, considering what it used to be.

It was never intended to be a temple.

In ancient Christian tradition, the Columbine represented the Holy Spirit, as it was thought by some to look like a dove.

As with most temples, the Provo City Center Temple includes the circle and square motif in many of the wood details.

The circle represents eternity, and the square represents earth, or the four corners of the earth.

Thus, the symbol shows how heaven and earth combine within the walls of the temple.

We're actually in an art studio.

We're gonna get to why we're, um, here in just a second, but we are in the heart of Provo, kitty corner to the Provo City Temple, and I'm here with my dear friend, Heather Lewis.

Now, the reason why I wanted to have this particular episode in her studio is because, yes, she's had some thinning of the veil experiences, but she's also really putting her talents out there and giving a voice to the gathering in a different way.

We all have a, a way of testifying of the gathering in our, in all of our different talents.
