At sunrise on Thursday January 12, 2012, a traditional golden Angel Moroni statue was placed atop the new Latter-day Saint (Mormon) temple being built in Calgary, Alberta Canada. Despite being a very cold morning, many locals came out to watch the event. The video shared here makes a special keepsake! The Calgary Alberta Temple is slated for completion in Fall 2012. The public will be welcomed to attend a free Open House which usually lasts for one week before the formal dedication. (dates yet to be announced). In the meantime, Congratulations to the people of Calgary for getting their Angel! – MoSop
