These symbols were obviously placed there for one purpose, just as the symbols on the temple were placed there: to announce to the world that this church has the fullness of the gospel, because that is what they mean, speaking of all temple symbolism collectively. Most see these symbols as colorful icons with little relevance to our religion. I see them as sermons in stone, just as the ancients who first invented them did. Such symbols convey truths in graphic images. They are mute testaments to the validity of the Restoration.
