Followers of Jesus Christ have long preserved artifacts of religious significance.

In ancient times, for example, there was Aaron’s rod (Numbers 17), manna in a jar (Exodus 16:32-33), and the stone tablets on which God wrote the Ten Commandments (Deuteronomy 10:2).

“They preserved [these artifacts] for a reason,” said Elder Kyle S. McKay, General Authority Seventy who is the Church historian and recorder. “It was to point them to events, but most of all, to point them to the God who was guiding them.”
