Mormon History, Jan 1, 1846

Brigham Young performs the first sealing of a man and wife for "time and all eternity" in the Nauvoo Temple. At meeting of endowed persons Brigham Young also announces a "thus saith . . . the Spirit" revelation to allow dancing in the temple for faithful Mormons. However, he and a few associates had been dancing in the temple late at night since Dec 17. The text of this revelation is available, but has never been canonized or officially published. Wilford Woodruff sends a friend "A New years gift" of "some Hair from the Heads of Joseph Smith the Prophet And all the Smith family of Male members also Mother Smith And from most all the quorum of the Twelve Also a peace of Joseph Smith Handkerchief."
