The Book of Mormon tells of a Lamanite queen who, upon hearing the testimony of her husband, Lamoni, was overwhelmed and sunk to the ground. Her servant Abish, a faithful believer, reached out her hand to raise the queen. In this painting, the queen’s eyes open at Abish’s touch.
“Sometimes we, like the queen, even knowing our divine origin and potential, may still feel overcome by mortality. The simplest human connection may wake us up to who we really are […].”
