Latter-day Saints should make Easter as rich in tradition as Christmas, apostle says at conference – By Tad Walch (Deseret News) / April 1 2023
On Palm Sunday weekend, church leaders began the 193rd Annual General Conference by focusing on Jesus Christ and the coming Easter week
A church leader encouraged what he said is a growing movement among Latter-day Saints toward a more Christ-centered Easter as he opened the faith’s 193rd Annual General Conference on Saturday.
“How do we model the teaching and celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Easter story, with the same balance, fullness and rich religious tradition of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Christmas story?” said Elder Gary E. Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
Holding a first-edition Book of Mormon from 1830 as he spoke on Palm Sunday weekend from the pulpit in the Conference Center in Salt Lake City, Elder Stevenson said his family will focus their Easter next week on the first 17 verses of 3 Nephi 11, when Christ appeared to the Book of Mormon people.
