Who is a Mormon? Detailed answer
Directory / Big encyclopedia. Questions for quiz and self-education Did you know? Who is a Mormon? Mormon is a member of the Christian Church of Latter Day Saints. The concept of Mormonism used to define this religion is taken from the Book of Mormons, one of the sacred books of this church. The Church of Latter Day Saints was formally formed by Joseph Smith in Fayest, New York, on April 6, 1830. Because of the persecution that Smith and his supporters were subjected to, some of them headed west to Ohio, some to Missouri, and also to Nouvo, Illinois, where they established the first permanent settlement. In 1844, church founder Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum were killed by a mob while in Carthage Jail, Illinois. Briam Young, who later became the head of the church, and about 15 thousand of his followers in 1846 went to the Rocky Mountains, where they became the first white settlers. In July 1847, the first detachment arrived in the Salt Lake Valley, where the modern state of Utah is located, and began the development of these territories. Utah and became the capital of the Mormon Church. Mormons' principles of faith are summarized in their code of faith. They include faith in one's God, in Jesus Christ, in repentance, in baptism by immersion (in water), in the remission of sins, that a person will only be punished for their own sins, not those of others. Thus, through the atonement of sins by Jesus Christ, all people can be saved if they read and keep the commandments of the gospel. Mormonism gives man a special place in the universe. Mormons believe that man has unlimited possibilities. Mormons have a tithing principle, that is, they all donate 1/10 of their income or earnings for the activities of the church. Church members also carry out missionary activities, but for their own money. Approximately 2 thousand young people are constantly engaged in this work. Author: Likum A.
What color are carrots? Carrots have not shown their orange essence for nearly 5000 years. The first mention of the use of carrots by humans dates back to 3000 BC. e. At that time in Afghanistan, carrots were purple on the outside and yellow on the inside. The ancient Greeks and Romans also cultivated this vegetable, but mainly for medicinal purposes: carrots were considered a strong aphrodisiac that enhances sexual desire. The famous ancient physician Galen strongly recommended carrots as a means to remove gases from the body. He was the first to separate the carrot from its closest relative, the parsnip. As the Arabs carried seeds across Asia, Africa, and the Arabian Peninsula, carrots blossomed in various shades of crimson, white, yellow, red, green, and even black. The very first orange carrots were grown in Holland in the XNUMXth century - the patriots of their country bred a variety that matched the color of the Dutch royal house of the Orange dynasty. By the XNUMXth century, the Dutch had become the main European producers of carrots, and all current varieties of this vegetable date back to four legendary varieties: "early semi-long", "late semi-long", "scarlet" and "long orange". Nowadays, the fashion for non-orange carrots is increasingly being traced. Today in stores you can find white, yellow, dark red and crimson varieties. Chocolate-flavoured carrots were introduced in Iceland in 1997 as part of the "Wacky Veg" line specifically aimed at kids. According to the UN, in 1903 there were 287 varieties of carrots grown in the world, but in our time there are only 21 of them - a decline of 93%. Interestingly, some of the varieties of this vegetable contain a protein that prevents the growth of ice crystals. This natural carrot "antifreeze" can be isolated and used to preserve human tissue for medical purposes, as well as to extend the shelf life of frozen foods.
