President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration committee has announced that he will be using Abraham Lincoln's Bible during his swearing-in ceremony on Monday. This historic Bible was also used by Lincoln himself during his inauguration in 1861, adding a symbolic touch to the upcoming event.
In addition to the Lincoln Bible, Trump will also be using a personal Bible for the oath-taking. It is worth noting that both of these Bibles were previously used by Trump during his inauguration in 2017, further emphasizing the personal significance they hold for him.
Former President Barack Obama also utilized the Lincoln Bible during his two inauguration ceremonies, highlighting the tradition and historical importance associated with this particular artifact.
Furthermore, Vice President-elect JD Vance will be taking the oath of office using a family Bible that dates back to his great-grandmother. This choice reflects Vance's personal connection to his family's heritage and values, underscoring the diverse range of religious and cultural traditions that are represented in the upcoming inauguration.
