What is priesthood?

Priesthood is like being a special helper who makes important things happen in a group or community.

Imagine you're part of a big team that builds the biggest treehouse ever, and one person on the team has the key to start the work, give instructions, and help everyone stay connected. That's kind of what priesthood is like: it’s being someone who helps guide others, gives important messages, and keeps people united in their shared goal.

A priest is like that special helper, they lead rituals, share stories, and help people feel close to something bigger than themselves. They might say prayers, light candles, or even read from a book that has been passed down for generations.

Sometimes, a priest helps people remember important events, like when a family comes together after someone has moved away, or when a group celebrates the start of a new journey.

Being part of the priesthood is like being chosen to carry a special role in a big story. Just like you might be the one who gives out snacks during playtime, a priest helps give meaning and connection to everyday life, but on a bigger scale.
