Vision, 16 February 1832 [D&C 76]
Zuni artist Les Namingha renders impressions of the kingdoms described in Doctrine and Covenants 76. The sun, moon, and stars represent the three degrees of glory, while the small faces with rays represent the inhabitants of those kingdoms. In the center stands Christ, whose face is partially covered out of respect. Les Namingha, Three Degrees of Glory, 1994, ceramic, Church History Museum.
