Dear Brothers and Sisters:

In 2026, Easter Sunday will be observed in many parts of the world on April 5—the

same weekend as the live broadcast of general conference. As such, only sacrament

meeting and no other meetings should be held the previous week, on Palm Sunday,

March 29.

Easter, general conference, and Palm Sunday are wonderful opportunities to

commemorate the Savior’s Atonement and Resurrection. We encourage all to invite

friends, family, and neighbors to join in these worship services of our Savior, Jesus

Christ.

Messages and music for Palm Sunday should be centered on the Savior’s Atonement

and Resurrection. To help create a special Easter-focused worship experience on Palm

Sunday, fast and testimony meeting could be held another week.

Resources to help with planning and celebrating Palm Sunday, Easter, and Holy Week

will be available at ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

We extend our gratitude for your service in helping all to experience the joy of the

Savior this Easter season.

Sincerely yours,

The First Presidency
