Notes

“This cutting, made from black paper cut with special scissors and blades, is based on old European paper-cuttings or scherenschnitte. As recorded in Moses 5:5–12, Adam was commanded to offer sacrifice to the Lord, and though he did not fully understand the commandment, he faithfully obeyed. During a sacrifice, an angel of the Lord appeared to Adam and explained what the sacrifice represented.” —J. Randel McGee
