What is a LDS church spire?
Most Church meetinghouses owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" or "LDS" church) have a spire or steeple. Not only do spires or steeples help others recognize the building as a religious building, they also hold symbolism. Steeples and spires point to heaven and represent that the Church is pointing people to heaven, or directing their attention to heaven. On LDS Temples, sometimes there is more than one spire, and sometimes there are none at all. Most temples have a gold statue of the angel Moroni on one of the spires, who is announcing the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through his trumpet. Photos of various LDS church and temple spires can be seen at the "Related Links" below.
