The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) often displays the Christus by Thorvaldsen in it's buildings and also uses photos of the statue in various materials as well. Miniature copies are also popular in individual homes. The original statue was done in 1821 and is located in the Church of Our Lady in Copenhagen, Denmark - a Lutheran church. Mormons simply like the statue and think it is a beautiful representation of Christ. It represents the Resurrected Jesus Christ, a figure central in Mormon theology.

Why do Mormons pretend to eat Jesus in church?
Most Christian denominations practice what is called the Lord's Supper, Communion, Eucharist, or Sacrament. This includes Catholics, most Protestants and yes, Mormons. The tradition is slightly different depending on the denomination, but the reason it is performed is because in the Bible Jesus commanded that his believers gather together and partake of bread and wine in rememberance of him. (Luke 22:19-20; Matthew 26:26-28; Mark 14:22-24; 1 Corinthians 11:23-25) Mormons call this practice "Sacrament" and participate each Sunday. Usually, bread and water, rather than wine are used. Mormons do NOT consider this 'pretending to eat Jesus'. They eat the bread and water to remember Jesus Christ. The bread represents the flesh of Jesus and reminds the person that Jesus is the Bread of Life (John 6:35). The water represents the blood of Jesus and reminds the person that The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the Living Water (John 4:10). Perhaps you are thinking of the Catholic concept of Transubstatiation, in which they believe that when the bread and wine are blessed, they are literally transformed into the body and blood of Christ. Mormons do not believe this concept. Check out the "Related Links" below to learn more about this topic.
