2025 Celestial Company: A Journey to Holy Sinai's Plain
Saturday, September 27, 2025 | 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
During the “Era of Manifestations” in the 1830s and 1840s, the Shakers rediscovered the religious fervor that had characterized their earliest years in America. This outpouring of spiritual gifts – including thousands of new hymns and “gift” songs – enriched and energized life at Pleasant Hill, suffusing the whole community with the feeling of divine presence. Religious services expanded beyond the physical walls of the Meeting House to include new sacred spaces throughout the community, as well as new forms of worship. On September 26, 1844, the Shakers held their first religious service at “Holy Sinai’s Plain,” an outdoor worship space located south of the village.
Now, almost exactly 181 years later, join us for a special guided experience, including performances of Shaker music and readings from historic documents, as we follow in the Shakers’ footsteps and journey to Holy Sinai’s Plain.
