Quite a show

7-13-07

Again, we shifted into a very different gear today. We drove to Palmyra, New York to visit some historic sites associated with Joseph Smith and the origins of the Mormon Church. Tonight we attended the Hill Cumorah Pageant, an outdoor play with a cast of hundreds that relates some of the stories from the Book of Mormon and how it was translated in modern times. It was awesome. The play is shown at night, and the stage is built on many levels of a hillside. The way they used the lighting, at one point it actually looked like the actor playing Jesus was suspended in the air above all the people. Excellent effects and an even better message.
