The National Prayer Breakfast
is a yearly event held in
Washington, D.C., usually on the first Thursday in February. The founder of
this event was
Abraham Vereide.[1]
The event—which is actually a series of meetings, luncheons, and dinners—has
taken place since 1953 and has been held at least since the 1980s at the
Washington Hilton on Connecticut Avenue NW.
The National Prayer Breakfast, held in
the Hilton's International Ballroom, is typically attended by some 3,500 guests,
including international invitees from over 100 countries. It is hosted by
members of the
United States Congress and is organized on their behalf by
The Fellowship Foundation, a Christian organization. Initially called the
Presidential Prayer Breakfast, the name was changed in 1970 to the National
Prayer Breakfast.
It is designed to be a forum for the political, social, and business elite to
assemble and build relationships. Since the inception of the National Prayer
Breakfast, several U.S. states and cities and other countries have established
their own annual prayer breakfast events.
Every U.S. president since
Dwight D. Eisenhower has participated in the annual event.[2]

February 7:
President Donald Trump on Thursday outlined the importance of faith in American
society in a speech that at times mirrored his State of the Union address from
earlier this week.
"I will never let you down, I can say that," Trump told the crowd at the
National Prayer Breakfast in Washington.
The president proceeded to list his administration's accomplishments and goals.
But those words were quickly overshadowed on social media when, in the midst of
praising religion's role in U.S. history, Trump made an apparent gaffe and
celebrated the "abolition of civil rights."
