I’ve been so busy on the road that I failed to call attention to this item, which appeared on Saturday:
http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865627745/Tree-veneration-in-India-and-the-Bible.html
It’s implicitly related, by the way, to the link that I posted here a few hours ago about a current art exhibit at BYU.
And, I think, to the tree described in 1 Nephi 8 and 1 Nephi 11.
Interesting stuff.
Clever boy, that Joseph Smith!
