Happy Easter! (Feliz Pascua!) We as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints testify with the entire Christian world that Jesus Christ died for us and was resurrected.

We also testify that even as He appeared to Mary, His apostles, and others as recorded in the Bible, the resurrected Savior also appeared to peoples on the American continent. This sacred event (or series of events – He ministered to them over a period of time) is recorded in the Book of Mormon, in 3 Nephi.

From Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, a modern-day apostle of Jesus Christ:

“My other plea at Easter time is that these scenes of Christ’s lonely sacrifice, laced with moments of denial and abandonment and, at least once, outright betrayal, must never be reenacted by us. He has walked alone once. Now, may I ask that never again will He have to confront sin without our aid and assistance, that never again will He find only unresponsive onlookers when He sees you and me along His Via Dolorosa in our present day. As we approach this holy week—Passover Thursday with its Paschal Lamb, atoning Friday with its cross, Resurrection Sunday with its empty tomb—may we declare ourselves to be more fully disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, not in word only and not only in the flush of comfortable times but in deed and in courage and in faith, including when the path is lonely and when our cross is difficult to bear. This Easter week and always, may we stand by Jesus Christ “at all times and in all things, and in all places that [we] may be in, even until death,” 21 for surely that is how He stood by us when it was unto death and when He had to stand entirely and utterly alone.”
