In the last few years I estimate that 75 % are originals and 25% very nice prints. Examples of prints would be Vancouver's print of Rexburg's original, and Kyiv Ukraine's print of Cardston's original. I assume this is due to the recession.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12498737960555523393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171745807603645949.post-44682060365318576462012-09-18T12:32:10.118-06:002012-09-18T12:32:10.118-06:00Most temples I have been to, especially in Utah ha...Most temples I have been to, especially in Utah have a floor dedicated to endowment, sealing, and changing rooms.
