When we went down to Utah last month, for my cousin Robbie's wedding reception, we drove past the Old Tabernacle as the firefighters were trying to squelch the fire that was consuming this beautiful building. It was really sad. There was so much history in that building and it was such a beautiful part of downtown Provo. (I actually lived right down the street from this tabernacle for a few months during college). So sad.
Well, Cory's cousin just posted about this on her blog and I wanted to share because it is pretty interesting. The pictures were taken from here.

Provo Firefighters look at a painting of Christ that was burned in the fire. The fire burned the entire image except the image of Christ near the center.
