No. Sin-eating, or the practice of absolving the sins of a deceased person by food and drink, has never been a practice of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church). "Mormons" believe that a person must be responsible for their own sins and that sins can only be forgiven by God, not through food or drink.

How does a Mormans day start?

Like most people, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) begins their day with getting out of bed, changing clothes, eating breakfast, and preparing for whatever their daily plans might be. Of course with over 14 million Mormons living all around the world, not every morning routine is the same, but Mormons do the same things that pretty much everyone does as their day begins. Many Mormons also include a prayer and scripture study in their morning routine. This might be done individually or with their family. Many high-school aged Mormons also attend religious classes (called Seminary) in the early morning before school.

What are some Mormon eating customs?

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) typically follow the customs of their nation or nationality when it comes to food and eating. Most Mormon families do try to eat at the table as a family at least several times a week, as family togetherness is very important to them. They also often have a blessing or prayer on the food as they sit down for the meal, as many American Christian families do. The 'Word of Wisdom', the health code followed by most Mormons, advises against the use of alcohol, coffee, tea, (except herbal tea) and other 'harmful substances'. It also advises eating a variety of vegetables and whole grains and eating meat only sparingly. You can learn about the Word of Wisdom at the "Related Links" below.
