Bring Your Bible To School Day

Bring Your Bible to School Day is celebrated on the first Thursday of October in the United States, and is a major holiday for all students who want to take part in the movement. It is celebrated to promote religious freedom and expression and celebrate the importance of faith in daily life. On this date, various events are held that all Christians can take part in.

History

Bring Your Bible to School Day was founded in 2014 by Focus on the Family, an American church organization. This was due to the US Supreme Court’s ban in 1962-1963 on reading the Bible in schools. In the first year, 8000 students took part in the event, and in subsequent years their number increased to 40,000. Now, students are allowed to bring a Bible to an educational institution, so long as it is read during lunch or free time, and not during the lesson. During the day, peers get together and discuss upcoming events, discuss, and disseminate information.
