| Arguably the most beautiful of
the pioneer temples, the Manti temple is a near twin to the Logan Temple on the outside,
only the upper towers are different. The open center spiral staircases are a miracle
of 19th Century engineering and are extremely rare and beautiful. The yearly Manti
Pageant,
which reenacts scenes from the Book of Mormon and Church History, takes place on the south
hill of the temple. The Manti Temple is the only temple with murals surviving from the
pioneer period. The temple is built of oolite sandstone quarried from the hill on which the
temple stands.
