The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—President Russell M. Nelson, President Dallin H. Oaks, and President Henry B. Eyring—has shared their heartfelt Christmas message for the season. This cherished tradition was published through various Church communication channels on Friday, November 29.

At this joyful time of year, we are grateful to celebrate with you the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.

Although He was born in humble circumstances, He is the central figure in all human history. His mission affects all who have lived and will yet live. Through His Atonement and Resurrection, He did what we could not do for ourselves: overcome death and be reconciled to our Heavenly Father.

We testify that He is the Son of the Eternal Father, who “so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). We share our witness and knowledge of this most important gift and invite you to do the same this Christmas season.

Mark your calendars! The First Presidency’s annual Christmas devotional is coming up on Sunday, December 8, 2024, at 6 p.m. MST. This special evening will feature inspiring messages from Church leaders and breathtaking music by The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the season and feel the true spirit of Christmas. Don’t miss it—learn how you can tune in!
