About

Missionary Holding The Book of Mormon is a viral image and exploitable meme format depicting a Mormon missionary holding a small copy of The Book of Mormon, originally shared in a Facebook Marketplace post. The photo went viral after it was reposted to Twitter / X in late December 2023, resulting in several viral fan edits, photoshops and redraws replacing the item in his hand and/or the man himself.

On December 30th, 2023, X[1] user @botaniccal posted an image of a Mormon missionary smiling with a suit on and holding a copy of The Book of Mormon close to the camera, writing, "I'm on facebook marketplace and there's a guy selling the book of mormon and this is the picture he chose," garnering over 59,000 likes and 6,600 reposts in a week (shown below). It is currently unknown who the missionary is or what Facebook Marketplace post the image comes from.
