Notes
"'I grew up in the countryside of Missouri,' said Schulte. 'I understand why Joseph Smith would seek answers to his prayers in nature.' Life was forever changed by Joseph’s experience in the grove—it inspires awe and enlightenment. Sacred Grove depicts the moment when Joseph called upon the powers of heaven after nearly being overtaken by an unseen darkness, when the sky had just begun to illuminate, offering hope, as the Restoration neared its miraculous beginning."
