National Day of Prayer is a tradition that predates the founding of the United States of America, evidenced by the Continental Congress’s proclamation in 1755, setting aside a Day of Prayer. In 1952, Congress established an annual day of Prayer and, in 1988, that law was amended, designating the National day of Prayer as the first Thursday in May.
