Jesus Statue With Mary and Martha Installed at Temple Square

Several religious monuments and statues are drawing attention, from a 14-meter statue of Pope Leo XIV being assembled in Peru ahead of his planned visit to a Christian monument near Birmingham that has begun taking shape with its first concrete sections. The Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer will link a planned one million bricks to personal stories of answered prayers and is expected to open in 2029. In Salt Lake City, a new statue depicting Jesus with Mary and Martha has been installed at Temple Square as renovations there near completion; another statue of Jesus blessing children is planned. A Christian history roundup also marks the dedication anniversary of the Lux Mundi statue.
