A Nauvoo Temple detail. The photograph below is of a painted glass window located in the baptistry. This beautiful portrayal of the Savior's baptism is placed so that it is seen by patrons as they enter the font. The names of the artist and his three assistants are in the lower right-hand corner. Above their names is the message, "Glory to God."


Behind this window is a well lit hallway. A local temple worker pointed out to us that on the back of the window, in the lower left-hand corner and just above the artists' names, is another message, "I love Gayle." The light has to be just right to be able to read this almost indistinguishable message.I assume one of the artists painted it as a keepsake for his wife, though its appropriateness is questionable. In the computer software world a hidden message like this is called an "Easter egg."
