Abstract

There are many other ways that the First Vision is shared and remembered. Countless talks and articles have discussed and explored this remarkable vision over the years. Songs have been composed and movies have been made concerning it. Many artistic renderings have been created, including woodcarvings and stained glass windows that adorn some of our buildings.

The First Vision remains an important part of our Church’s history. Millions of people around the globe have been impacted for good by it as it has been shared by Joseph Smith and the church that was restored through him.
