The Salt Lake Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the largest attraction in the city's Temple Square.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints ( LDS Church ), is the largest and best known denomination within the Latter Day Saint movement ( a form of Christian Restorationism ).

The Church is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, and claims through inspired patriarchal blessings to its members throughout the world that many of these are descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh, with the tribe of Ephraim holding a responsibility of leadership and a leading role in missionary work in the last days.

The LDS Church believes that scattered descendants of Ephraim from Europe, Scandinavia, and other parts of the world have been led by the guiding hand of God to settle in the Americas, along with the descendants of the Lamanites and others, and that the Americas are a " promised land " of liberty for those who have been led there.
