Restoration of the Aaronic Priesthood

Restoration of the Aaronic Priesthood: John the Baptist (also known simply as Priesthood Restoration or John the Baptist) is a 1957 bronze sculpture by Avard Fairbanks, installed in Salt Lake City’s Temple Square, in the U.S. state of Utah. The sculpture commemorates the restoration of the Aaronic p

riesthood, an event in which, according to Latter-day Saint belief, the lesser order of the power and authority of God was given to male leaders of the church. Besides the sculpture at Temple Square, a plaster version is on display at the Fairview Museum of History and Art in Fairview, Utah, and an additional bronze casting, together with a separate relief version of the artwork, are located at the Priesthood Restoration Site in Oakland Township, Pennsylvania.
