Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Nauvoo, Illinois Miracles collection?
It is a curated category of faith-promoting accounts that occurred in Nauvoo, Illinois — the 'City Beautiful' on the Mississippi, home of the Saints from 1839 to 1846 and the place where the Nauvoo Temple was built. Accounts include healings, visions, prophetic promises, and divine protection from the Joseph Smith era of the city. Each account is also sorted into its proper miracle type, so the Nauvoo collection is a place-category rather than a separate kind of miracle.
Are Nauvoo miracles counted twice in the archive total?
