The Miracle of the Seagulls
The Seagull Monument at Temple Square, Salt Lake City, Utah
This monument sign, located just at the base of the photo at top, states sea gulls fed on invading crickets.* Was it a genuine miracle? Did the event actually happen as the monument presents as fact? You decide.
Was There a "Miracle" of the Seagulls?
By Bill McKeever
* Interesting to note that "Mormon crickets," common in Utah, aren't actually crickets, but katydids.
The Mormon cricket actually is a katydid, similar to a grasshopper. It got its name in 1848 when swarms invaded the fields of Mormon settlers in Utah. According to lore, the settlers prayed for divine assistance that arrived in the form of gulls, which ate the insects and saved the crops.

"Jesus' blood on the altar was the ultimate payment. He made us worthy permanently. When Jesus died on the cross the veil covering the Holy of Holies tore in half. The mercy seat lay exposed to mankind. There is no veil, anymore, between God and man. Jesus ripped it down. But Mormonism has hung up a new one." -Kathleen Baldwin
"When I was LDS (not that long
ago) I saw a lot of things that made me question my membership in the LDS
church, but I sure wouldn't admit it for a long time (not even to myself). I
just knew there had to be good explanations for all of those silly criticisms,
if I just looked in the right place...or prayed about it long enough. I was
wrong." - Former Mormon, Marsha Bette
