HOW THE MORMON RELIGION BEGAN
The Mormon religion, also known as the "Latter Day saints", believe that Jesus Christ is the savior of the world, and the son of God. This religion was founded by Joseph Smith on April 6, 1830 in Fayette, New York. It is believed that Joseph was chosen by God himself to restore the Church of Christ. In 1827,Smith claimed that an angel had visited him and showed him "golden plates", which he then transcribed into the book of Mormons. Anyone who followed the teachings of this book were then known as "Mormons".
