On February 29, 2024, the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sent the following letter to Church Leaders:
Easter Observance
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
As we approach Easter Sunday, we gratefully celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the spirit of this sacred season, we invite everyone to reflect on the infinite Atonement of Jesus Christ—including His anguish in the Garden of Gethsemane, His suffering on the cross, and His glorious Resurrection. We desire that all people everywhere feel more of His love and earnestly follow His example of humility, obedience, and compassion.
To allow additional time on Easter Sunday for worship with family and friends, we have asked all wards and branches to meet only for sacrament meeting. This special Easter sacrament meeting could be an opportunity to invite friends to worship with us.
May you be blessed with peace, hope, and light as you seek to follow and find ways to honor the Savior of the World this Easter season and always.
Sincerely yours,
The First Presidency
