Description

Mothers’ blessings, also known as “confinement blessings,” were given early in the Church to women who were about to deliver babies. What exactly are they, why were they important, and what does this have to do with any womanly role? Ann Hatch and Andrea Jessop explore mothers’ blessings as an instance of a separate priesthood among women, showing what it is to participate both as a recipient and administrator of mothers’ blessings, and how women can use this priesthood in their families.
