| | Cumorah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Although Mormons called the hill "Cumorah" since 1829, the hill was called "Mormon Hill" or "Mormon Bible Hill" by locals prior to the purchase of the hill in the 1920s by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints under the direction of Church President Heber J. Grant. | | | The hill Cumorah (also called Mormon Hill or Ramah) is a place described in the The Book of Mormon where the Nephites were destroyed in a final battle with the Lamanites, and according to Joseph Smith, Jr. | | | There is some disagreement among LDS "Historians" about whether the Hill in New York state is the same as the place mentioned in the Book of Mormon, or if the hill was given the same name in order to honor it as the hiding place of the plates when Smith found them. |

| | Cumorah |
| | Cumorah in the Book of Mormon refers to a hill and surrounding area where the final battle between the Nephites and Lamanites took place, resulting in the annihilation of the Nephite people (see Book of Mormon Peoples). | | | Moroni states in the book of Ether that the Jaredites gathered for battle near "the hill Ramah," the same hill where his father, Mormon, hid up "the records unto the Lord, which were sacred" (Ether 15:11). | | | He further explained that "all the plates" containing scripture are the "small and simple" means by which "great things are brought to pass" and by which the Lord will "show forth his power…unto future generations" (Alma 37:5-6, 19). |

| | Cumorah's Cave - FARMS JBMS |
| | The Hill Cumorah's significance in the restoration of the gospel goes beyond its being the ancient repository of the metal plates known as the Book of Mormon. | | | By looking at the accounts and the context in which they were shared, one can see that regardless of the metaphysical nature of Cumorah's cave, it has served to teach important gospel principlesâ”principles such as God's miraculous dealings with man, his dominion over all things, consecration, and continuing revelation. | | | In the second half of the 19th century, a certain teaching about a cave in the hill began surfacing in the writings and teachings of several leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. |

| | 25 Great Getaways: The Hill Cumorah Pageant |
| | Hill Cumorah itself is crucial to the story because Mormon religious history is believed to have been written on metal tablets by the prophet Mormon and hidden in a stone box by him around 400 A.D on this very hill. | | | What gives the Hill Cumorah Pageant a twinge of the eerie is that it has been performed since 1937 on the very site where 14-year-old Joseph Smith purportedly discovered what was later to become known as the Book of Mormon. | | | According to the Mormons, the people were miraculously visited by Jesus in 34 A.D. Events leading up to this climactic point are dramatized from stories in the Bible and the Book of Mormon. |

| | These people [from the Book of Mormon] were human, as we are; they carried with them their most precious possessions until the last, and when the end of the mighty struggle came and the result was in doubt, they hid them away in order that they might not fall into the hands of their enemies. | | | The Hill Cumorah is probably mentioned in every book ever written about Joseph Smith or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. | | | All the letters were reprinted in Liverpool in 1844 in a pamphlet titled Letters by Oliver Cowdery to W.
