SALT LAKE CITY — The Christmas lights at Temple Square return for the season on Friday.
The lights are an annual tradition that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints started back in 1965.
The church said in a press release that it would not host a lighting ceremony again this year.
However, more areas of the Salt Lake Temple will be open to the public this year. Parts of the temple have been closed as it undergoes a major renovation project.
