Located in the southwestern corner of Utah, the six-acre site for the St. George Temple was selected by President Brigham Young in 1871. Built of native red sandstone quarried north of the city and then plastered white, the temple was dedicated in 1877, a few months before President Young’s death.
Inside back cover: Ruth and Naomi, by Judith Mehr, oil on canvas, 43″ x 58″, 1992. Receiving refreshment from her mother-in-law, Naomi, Ruth tarried many hours in the fields of Boaz to sustain them both.
