Do the LDS have any special holidays or is it just Christmas and Easter? If the answer is yes, please talk a bit about them! If not, any ideas what they might be?
Hmmm the only one I can think of would be Pioneer Day?? (July 24? I think?) But I think that’s mostly just a Utah thing not worldwide. Since I live in the “Mormon Corridor” of Canada with lots of our ancestry being from Utah we do sometimes celebrate a little bit as in like we sing a pioneer type hymn in church that week. Some years I remember talks about pioneer ancestors in church. I don’t think it happens as much anymore here.
I guess we also remember the anniversary of the church’s reorganization (Apr 6) and those who are really on the ball might know the anniversary of the first vision (I don’t) It’s not really a holiday though. More just like “huh thats neat” and maybe some years they will do a special broadcast on like the 175 anniversary or something.
But as everyone knows, general conference weekend is the biggest holiday there is 😂
#christianity#the church of jesus christ of latter day saints#sorry I should explain#general conference is a worldwide broadcast twice a year from church leaders#a weekend each in April and October#we watch the broadcast instead of going to church#lots of families have traditions like special meals or staying in pjs all day or conference watch parties#it’s like the Super Bowl but spiritually uplifting lol

my family celebrates the church’s birthday (apr 6), but there are no LDS specific “holidays” as such.
but yeah, General conference is like the super bowl for church memebers.
