Happy Moroni Day!

Joseph Smith receiving the plates from the angel Moroni

Today is the 189th anniversary of Joseph Smith receiving the golden plates from the angel Moroni. Interestingly, the appearance of the angel Moroni to the prophet Joseph Smith during 21/22 September 1823-1827 coincides with a number of important Jewish festivals, and 22 September 1827 itself coincided with Rosh Hashanah (the Feast of Trumpets).

Book of Mormon Central has an interesting article on this issue, with a youtube video summarising the article:
