Trump will be accompanied by the Bible given by his mother during the oath taking ceremony, what is the reason behind this?

Obnews Desk: Donald Trump will take the oath on the Bible given to him by his mother and Lincoln's Bible. His swearing-in ceremony will take place inside the Capitol Rotunda because the weather is expected to be very cold. Trump will be sworn in as the 47th President of America for his second term on Monday, January 20.

According to the information received, Donald Trump will take oath with the Bible received from his mother. Trump received this Bible at his Sunday School graduation in 1955 at the First Presbyterian Church in Jamaica, New York. Let us tell you that this Bible was published by Thomas Nelson & Sons of New York in 1953 and his name is embossed on the lower part of the cover.

According to media reports, this Bible has signatures of church officials on the inside cover, and it contains the name of the President and information about when it was presented.

Has been used only three times

The announcement states that the Lincoln Bible will be used at Trump's inauguration along with his Bible. The Lincoln Bible was first used at the inauguration of the 16th President Abraham Lincoln on March 4, 1861. Since then, this Bible has been used only three times—at both the inaugurations of President Barack Obama and the 2017 inauguration of President Trump. This Bible is in burgundy colored velvet binding and is kept in the Library of Congress.

Chief Justice administers oath

In the United States, the use of the Bible during the presidential inauguration is an old tradition dating back to Abraham Lincoln. Let us tell you that while taking the oath of office of the President in America, the hand is placed on the Bible, because the Bible is the holy book of Christianity.
