A soft robe crocheted of multicolored yarn reflecting humanity and its position on the globe hangs on imagined shoulders. This is a robe for the Savior, who justified humanity through His sacrifice for mankind. "O Lord," yearned Nephi, "wilt thou encircle me around in the robe of thy righteousness!" (2 Nephi 4:33).
"He has taken on the world as a whole and each of us individually to redeem, comfort, and encircle as we let Him."
