We started the day out at the Hill Cumorah Visitor's Center in Palmyra.
 |
| Entrance to the Visitor's Center. This early in the morning the sun is right behind everything so I need to stand off to one side or I can't get the right picture. |
 |
| We had a few minutes with the "Christus" statue and our tour guide to reflect on Christ' teachings in our life. |
 |
| An interesting approach to Joseph Smith in the Sacred Grove and his 1st encounter with Heavenly Father. |
 |
| A nice display throughout the center. |
 |
| This is an actual copy of a 1st edition of the Book of Mormon. Visiting several church history sites, we were able to see a very limited number of copies of 1st editions. Supposedly, only about 300 copies, out of 5,000 original copies, are left in existence today. |
 |
| Walking from the parking lot at the top of Hill Cumorah towards the Moroni statue at the top of the hill. |
 |
This is a shot from the top of Hill Cumorah looking down towards where the audience sits during the Hill Cumorah Pageant is performed. It is quite a ways down the hill.
|
 |
| The base of the Moroni monument has several reliefs on it. This is just one of 4. |
 |
| The front of the statue. Unfortunately, it was early in the morning and the sun was behind the statue so it's a bit dark. Sorry about that. |
We really enjoyed visiting the first site in Palmyra. So much history here.
