ARTICLE EXCERPT: A monumental occasion took place Tuesday morning as the gold-leafed statue of the angel Moroni was set in place atop The Gila Valley Arizona Temple.

After seven months of construction, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' newest temple in Arizona has reached its final height and form, standing 11 stories from the base of the building to the tip of Moroni's trumpet. The precast stone walls have been installed with stained glass windows throughout and, from the outside, the only thing apparently left to construct is the landscaping and parking lot. The outside construction of a meeting house adjacent to the temple is apparently close to completion, if not complete as well.

Moroni looks like he has a Christmas bulb on his head.

Thanks for the picture Hemi. I've never seen how they put Moroni in place before.
