1. Title: The First Prayer in Congress: A Moment of Unity and Devotion in the Hallowed Halls of Philadelphia The evocative image before you captures a pivotal moment in American history, as the first prayer is offered in the newly established Congress, housed within the historic Old State House in Philadelphia. This poignant scene, a testament to the spiritual and political foundations of the United States, is brought to life through the lens of an unidentified photographer, now available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online. Dated to the late 18th or early 19th century, this evocative image depicts a group of congressmen, dressed in the formal attire of the time, gathered around a table in the Old State House chamber. Their faces are etched with sincerity and focus as they bow their heads in prayer, led by a clergyman standing at the head of the table. The atmosphere is one of unity and devotion, as these founding fathers sought divine guidance in their new endeavor to govern the young nation. The Old State House, a National Historic Landmark, served as the seat of the First Continental Congress in 1774 and the Second Continental Congress in 1775-1776, where the Declaration of Independence was adopted. The building's hallowed halls have borne witness to some of the most significant events in American history, making this image a precious document of the nation's past. This print, with its rich historical significance, is an essential addition to any collection dedicated to American history, religious studies, or the study of early American political institutions. The First Prayer in Congress stands as a poignant reminder of the faith and determination that shaped the United States and continues to inspire us today.
