Solemn Assembly and Hosanna Shout

By Bishopric 4 Apr, 2020

For those of you who were able to watch or listen to President Nelson, he announced that after the morning session of Conference tomorrow morning there will be a Solemn Assembly and Hosanna Shout.

Some may be wondering what this is, as it is not something that occurs very often. The Church News sent out a wonderful article on what this is that you can read here. This is a great resource for those who might not know what this is, as well as others that may need a refresher.

President Nelson instructed that a white handkerchief would be used during the Hosanna Shout. This does not have to be any special handkerchief, it just has to be white. If you do not have one, that is okay. You do not need to go and try and find one or buy one. He said that we can wave our hand instead and it will be just fine. -Bishop Harwood
