Christus
(located on Temple Square, Salt Lake City, Utah)
Christus (also known as Christus Consolator) is a 19th-century Carrara marble statue of the resurrected Jesus by Bertel Thorvaldsen. Since its completion in 1838, the statue has been located in the Church of Our Lady in Copenhagen, Denmark. In the 20th century, images and replicas of the statue were adopted by the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) to emphasize the centrality of Jesus Christ in church teachings.
