President-elect Donald Trump will have his hand on two Bibles during his swearing-in ceremony on Monday, the culmination of the 60th Presidential Inauguration.<\/a><\/p>\n

Trump will use his Bible, given to him by his mother in 1955, to “mark his Sunday Church Primary School graduation at First Presbyterian Church,\u00a0in Jamaica, New York,” a press release from his inaugural committee states.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The religious text is a 1953 revised standard version that was published by Thomas Nelson and Sons in New York. Trump’s name is embossed<\/a> on the lower portion of the front cover, and inside the cover are signatures of church officials, an inscription of the president’s name and details of when it was presented to him.<\/p>\n

In addition to the sentimental Bible, the Lincoln Bible, first used in 1861 to swear-in the 16th U.S. president, will be used.<\/p>\n

“It has only been used three times since, by President Obama<\/a> at each of his inaugurations and by\u00a0President Trump at his first inauguration in 2017,” Trump’s team states. “The burgundy velvet-bound book is part of the collections of the Library of Congress.”<\/p>\n

President Obama also took the oath of office on two Bibles back in 2013<\/a>, the Associated Press reported. One was owned by Martin Luther King Jr. and the other was the Lincoln Bible.<\/p>\n

When Trump is sworn in as the 47th President of the United States inside the Capitol\u2019s rotunda, he will do so facing a bust of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. on the federal holiday commemorating King\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n
