The day we got to Nauvoo, we were a little late to visit any of the sites (they all close at 6 p.m.). We went over to the visitor center and walked around in the cool Women's Garden outside. They have various statues of women. We then went and waited for the pageant to start. I am not made for muggy weather. As we sat waiting, an elderly gentleman came up to us and started giving us a survey. He then shared information about the pageant, such as it's the only pageant to be commissioned by a prophet (Pres. Hinckley) to be written. He then moved us to some great seats that are reserved for mission/temple presidencies and their guests. Very good view. It was an amazing experience. We went again a few nights later. It was just as good then.
The view of the temple from where we sat.
During the pageant, they build a miniature model of the temple on stage. This is the first part.
Second part
And it keeps getting bigger.
The cast was huge. There are 5 different casts that are each there for 2 weeks. Some of them stay for the whole summer, many of them families.
