Note: Several of our temples, when originally dedicated, did not have Angel Moroni statues, but have subsequently had statues added to the steeple. Examples of such temples are Ogden Utah Temple, Provo Utah Rock Canyon Temple, São Paulo Brazil Temple, Boston Massachusetts Temple, Manhattan New York Temple, London England Temple, and Bern Switzerland Temple. Sister Chris Stocking has pointed out that the Angel Moroni representation on the original Nauvoo Temple displayed the angel in a horizontal or ‘flying’ position. The original Kirtland Temple had a weather vane rather than an angelic representation.
Note: The Lima Peru Los Olivos Temple and the Orem Utah Temple, both dedicated in January of 2024, do not have an Angel Moroni statues. It is becoming much more common for temples to not have an Angel Moroni statue, as our focus shifts from Moroni to the Savior.
