From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A priesthood blessing in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a "prayer for healing, comfort or counsel given by a Melchizedek Priesthood holder, who lays his hands on the head of the person receiving the blessing." [1] Priesthood blessings are considered to be non-saving ordinances by Latter-day Saints. [2]
