Summary[edit source | hide | hide all]

Twelve white oxen representing the Tribes of Israel bear up the sacred baptismal font within the Salt Lake Temple, a holy edifice of granite stone, consecrated to the Lord, which sanctuary took the Latter-day Saints 40 years to build. The oxen-font design revealed to Joseph Smith and realized within the Nauvoo Temple was closely followed for fonts built within the many temples that came after it.
