The scriptures pose the questions: "Have ye spiritually been born of God? Have ye received his image in your countenances? Have ye experienced this mighty change in your hearts?" (Alma 5:14). This young woman stands for all young women coming to the Savior, not just a young woman of our day. Her costume is of no particular time period and she is in no recognizable place. She represents His sacrifice for us, wherein lies our salvation. In retrospect it shows God's love and the joy of accepting and living His teachings.
