Sunday

Like many other Christian churches Mormons regard Sunday as the day of rest and day of worship.

Most Mormon families will spend a substantial part of Sunday in meetings and worship with their community.

Monday

Monday is often reserved for Family Home Evening.

Festivals

Mormons really only celebrate two religious festivals: Easter and Christmas.

An additional festival is Pioneer Day, on 24 July. This celebrates the arrival of the first Latter-day Saint pioneers in the Salt Lake Valley in 1847.
