Question what are the main feast days and celebrations of Mormons?
Answer We prefer using the name Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to Mormon because Mormon is a nickname.
We have no feast days as Jews do for example. We are not opposed to celebrating days such as Thanksgiving. Although, members of our church in Brazil for example would not normally celebrate Thanksgiving because it is not part of their culture.
We celebrate Christmas and Easter although each family celebrates them as they wish and we have no liturgy related to any celebration. July 24 is celebrated as Pioneer Day because that is the day in 1847 that Brigham Young entered the Salt Lake Valley and declared that the Mormons would settle there.
