The Hill Cumorah Pageant: America's Witness for Christ is a family-oriented production complete with earthquakes and lightning. Seven sound stages, digital sound and state-of-the-art lighting, transforming the hill into a scene from America's past.
The pageant portrays the account of a group of people who left Jerusalem about 600 B.C. and were guided to what is now the American continent. Actors depict events that lead up to the climactic visit of Jesus Christ to America.
A history of this people, written on gold plates, was deposited in this hill approximately 420 A.D. by Moroni, the last survivor of a great civilization. In 1827, Moroni returned as an angel and delivered the gold plates to Joseph Smith, who translated them through the power of God. The translation of the gold plates is called the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ.
The Hill Cumorah Pageant: America's Witness for Christ is a testimony in drama and music that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has hosted this all
volunteer pageant since 1937.
