Quest for Zion: Painting II
“How beautiful thy message, Lord,
The gospel, pure and true,
In these our days to earth restored
And taught to men anew.”
How Beautiful Thy Temples, Lord Hymn No.288
Story Behind the Art
This painting reflects the progression and movement of the saints, from humble beginnings in log cabins in the left panel to the building of the first temple in Kirtland in the right panel. The central panel reflects the journeys of the Saints as they gathered together, and the woman in the center reflects the joy and wonder of the unfolding Restoration. - Annie Henrie Nader
