Temple Square

As you probably know, Utah is the home of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. For short, they call themselves "LDS." Most people call them "Mormons."

In Salt Lake City, about half the population is Mormon. Outside of Salt Lake, and especially in small towns in Utah, the population of Mormons is much higher, from 80% to 100%. I am not Mormon, but many of my friends are.

Above are photos of the Mormon temple. There are a full buildings owned by the Mormon church in temple square, including the tabernacle where the Morman Tabernacle Choir performs. From Thanksgiving through Christmas each year, they decorate the entire area in beautiful colored lights.
