There is one big historical change to the LDS Temple Ceremony that has not been adequately addressed up until now — that Joseph Smith ordained Kings and Priests and Queens and Priestesses in the original Washing and Anointing ceremony in the Nauvoo Endowment ritual. Today that is not the case: individuals are only anointed to eventually become as such in the modern Washing and Anointing. It is only in the Second Anointing today that men and women in the LDS Church receive an anointing that ordains them Kings and Priests and Queens and Priestesses. The history of when and why this change occurred will be addressed in this paper.
This paper will also detail interesting changes in the LDS Church’s Second Anointing Ceremony during the last 120 years that have not been discussed before.
