On or near autumnal equinox 1823, the Angel Moroni first appeared to the Prophet Joseph Smith and told him about records engraved on gold plates.
On or near autumnal equinox 1827, the Angel Moroni gave Joseph a set of plates having the appearance of gold.
The value of the records contained on the gold plates far exceeded their worth as precious metal or pre-Columbian cultural artifact.
On or near autumnal equinox 2016, Book of Mormon Central will celebrate Moroni Day with a fundraising reception in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building on Temple Square. As with all images on this blog, click to enlarge.
If you are able and willing to support Book of Mormon Central financially, please join us. Those unable to attend the physical event will have a chance to experience Moroni Day virtually and donate shortly after September 23. Contributions are tax-deductible.
A 2 page PDF of the invitation is available for viewing or download here. Please share as appropriate.
Many more of God's children would benefit if they immersed themselves in the Book of Mormon. 2 Nephi 32:3, Ether 4:11.
Supporting well-designed, impactful Book of Mormon projects will help.
