apr 3, 1836 - Restoration of Priesthood Keys in Kirtland Temple

Description:

On Easter Sunday, 3 April 1836, the Savior, Moses, Elias, and Elijah appeared in succession in the Kirtland Temple and restored priesthood keys required for the dispensation of the fulness of times. (See D&C 110.) Elijah's coming had been prophesied more than twenty-two centuries earlier by Malachi. For this reason the Lord sent Peter, James, and John to the Prophet Joseph Smith to restore the Melchizedek Priesthood and the keys of that priesthood (see D&C 27:12–13). These sacred keys have been given to all the Apostles and prophets of the Church and are held by the prophet and Apostles of the Church today.
