The founder of the Latter Day Saints movement, Joseph Smith, claimed that on 21st September 1823, he received 3 visits from the angel Moroni, who told him he would be a most significant person, that a book written on gold plates will be obtained and translated and that a priesthood will be revealed to him.

The church Smith founded was named 'The Church of Christ' in 1830. Soon after, it was loosely called the Church of Latter Day Saints. It was renamed Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in 1838.
