“Moroni”的意思、由来-百科全书

Moroni

Comoros

coastal town, capital, and largest settlement of Comoros, southwestern Grande Comore (also called Njazidja) island in the Indian Ocean. It was founded by Arabic-speaking settlers, possibly as early as the 10th century AD. Dzaoudzi, the principal city of the island of Mayotte, was the original administrative capital of Comoros, but Moroni succeeded it in 1958.

The port of Moroni consists of a small quay in a natural cove and lacks natural protection for shipping. Vanilla, cacao, and coffee are exported from the port, whose facilities include warehouse storage for imports and exports and for petroleum products. Moroni's industries manufacture soft drinks, processed and distilled essential oils, metal and wood products, and processed pozzolana (cement). Despite the presence of modern-style office buildings, Moroni retains a traditional Arabic appearance. The city has numerous mosques, including Chiounda, a pilgrimage centre. Roads link Moroni with the coastal towns of Hahaia to the north and Mitsoudje to the south, and an international airport is nearby. Pop. (2003) 41,557.

religious figure

according to the teaching of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, an angel or resurrected being who appeared to Joseph Smith (Smith, Joseph) on Sept. 21, 1823, to inform him that he had been chosen to restore God's church on earth. Four years later Smith purportedly received plates of gold from Moroni, who, as the last of the ancient prophets, had buried them in a hill called Cumorah (near Palmyra, N.Y.) some 14 centuries earlier. On these plates were written history and teachings about ancient American prophets and peoples; it was this knowledge that Smith recorded in the Book of Mormon (see Mormon, Book of), which became accepted as a holy scripture by the Mormon Church.
