Moroni's Plates

Moroni's Plates: "Not only was his robe exceedingly white, but his whole person was glorious beyond description, and his countenance truly like lightning... He said there was a book deposited, written upon gold plates, giving an account of the former inhabitants of this continent, and the source from whence they sprang... At length the time arrived for obtaining the plates... On the twenty-second day of September, one thousand eight hundred and twenty-seven, having gone as usual at the end of another year to the place where they were deposited, the same heavenly messenger delivered them up to me...The ancient record thus brought forth from the earth as the voice of a people speaking from the dust, and translated into modern speech by the gift and power of God as attested by Divine affirmation, was first published to the world in the year 1830 as The Book of Mormon."

Moroni is usually depicted as an older man but I figured a resurrected Moroni would be in the prime of his life. I created this just for a personal project. I love the Book of Mormon and the wild stories of it's origins.
