Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Kirtland, Ohio Miracles collection?
It is a curated category of faith-promoting accounts that occurred in Kirtland, Ohio — the Church's first gathering place and headquarters from 1831 to 1838. Accounts include heavenly manifestations, healings, prophetic guidance, and divine provision from the era of the Kirtland Temple's building and dedication. Each account is also sorted into its proper miracle type, so the Kirtland collection is a place-category rather than a separate kind of miracle.
Are Kirtland miracles counted twice in the archive total?
