Palmyra, N.Y. - An annual highlight of the summer calendar south of Palmyra is coming to an end.
The Hill Cumorah Pageant will end in 2020. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints says pageants and large productions are being discouraged as part of a new focus on dedicating every activity in the Church to spread its message.
This past summer, an estimated 25,000 people attended the pageant.
