Hundreds of spectators watched on Wednesday, September 1st as a statue of the Angel Moroni was placed on its spire on top of the new Raleigh NC Temple. The seven foot statue is made of fiberglass covered in gold leaf.

The Raleigh Temple, actually located in Apex, North Carolina, is one of the Church's new smaller temples. Dedication is expected this fall.
