The Christus Statue to be New LDS Logo

By Sandra Tanner


Since 1966, an eleven-foot replica of Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen’s statue, The Christus, has been on display at the LDS Church visitor center in Salt Lake City. At the Saturday evening, April 4, 2020 session of LDS Conference, President Nelson announced that the new church logo would be a drawing of the statue enclosed in an arch, with the name of the church underneath.1
