Joseph Smith's First Vision likely happened on Sunday, March 26, 1820, which was Palm Sunday.  There are nine currently known first-person accounts of the First Vision.  Most contain one or more details not in the other accounts:  The Father and Son look almost exactly alike and are the same height.  Their robes went over only one shoulder.  Joseph Smith thought he would be burned up when the light or fire came down from Heaven.  But instead he felt love when the light touched him.  He prayed in the grove next to a tree stump, where he had stuck his ax when he left work the day before.. Joseph Smith saw many angels, as well as God and Jesus in the First Vision.
