Let's post some religious art, since this is the humanities board.

I've been fascinated by the Mormons recently, so I'll post some of theirs.

This is the prophet Alma being visited by an angel, who charges him with being the high priest over the Nephites (Israelites who colonised the Americas in Mormon belief).

Here's Alma's father (Alma the Elder) baptising some Nephites in a lake. I think the landscape is meant to emulate central America, or maybe its mythical.

The prophet Abinadi speaking to the sinful King Moses. I like the leopards in this one.

Nephi making the gold plates that the records of the Nephites were written on. They're the plates Joseph Smith claimed he found buried in a hill and translated (lol)

...

The voyage of Lehi (Nephi's father) and their families to America

...

Samuel the Lamanite preaching on the city wall.

The dream of Lehi, an allegory for the Mormon view of salvation

...

Jesus appears in the Americas

...

Another version of Jesus' appearance. I like the jewish temple-style building crossed with mesoamerican architecture

...

Mormon mourning the destruction of his nation after a climactic battle

Moroni burying the records, which Mormons believe were discovered by Joseph Smith

Joseph Smith's vision of God the Father and Jesus

Joseph showing the gold plates to the eight witnesses

The spirit of Joseph Smith leading the Mormons west to Utah

...

Four Mormon prophets: Moses, Nephi, Joseph Smith, and Gordon B. Hinckley
