Laurel (LDS Church)

Laurel (LDS Church)

A Laurel is a 16-17 year old participant in the Young Women organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The symbol of the Laurels is the spires of the temple, which are intended to remind participants of ordinances and covenants which lead to exaltation.LDS Church, "Church Handbook of Instructions, Book 2: Priesthood and Auxiliary Leaders", 1998, p. 214.] The purpose statement of the Laurels is:

"A Laurel becomes a Young Woman of Faith as she more fully experiences the Savior's love and prepares to receive the ordinances of the temple by living, teaching, and sharing the gospel."

In 1950, the name Junior Gleaners was applied to the class; this was changed to Laurels in 1959.
