Restoration of the Melchizedek Priesthood Bronze Statue - 1962

Restoration of the Melchizedek Priesthood Bronze Statue - 1962

$0.00Price
Melchizedek Priesthood Restoration by Avard T. Fairbanks, Ph.D., sculptor, was commissioned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon) to create virtual representation of the Priesthood Restoration.

The first was the Aaronic Priesthood monument, and the second was the Melchizedek Priesthood Monument with three figures – Peter, James, and John – together with their hands on the head of Joseph Smith, Jr. Oliver Cowdery kneels next to Joseph Smith to be the second in line to receive the Melchizedek Priesthood. This was created in 1965 in heroic size.

There is a smaller working model which was created first; this can be made available, cast in bronze, for purchase by interested parties.
