How art connects people to Joseph Smith’s First Vision

This Spring marks 200 years since Joseph Smith’s First Vision, where he says he saw God the Father and His son Jesus Christ appear to him in a grove of trees near his home.

The impact of Joseph Smith's First Vision

Some scholars believe March 26th could have been the day that 14-year-old Joseph Smith had his First Vision.  

"Whether you believe it or not, it symbolizes man’s yearning to connect to heaven. There's something universal there," says church historian Spencer McBride.
