Page "Angel Moroni" Paragraph 16

According to the Book of Mormon, Moroni was the son of Mormon, the prophet for whom the Book of Mormon is ostensibly named.

He may have been named after Captain Moroni, a much earlier Book of Mormon figure.

Before Mormon's death in battle, he passed the golden plates to Moroni.

Moroni then finished writing on the plates and concluded his record, presumably burying them in the hill Cumorah in western New York.
