See The Amazing Kids From Across America Who Brought Their Bibles to School Today

Thursday is “Bring Your Bible to School Day,” which means that hundreds of thousands of kids across the U.S. are heading to school with copies of the Christian Bibles in their hands — or backpacks.

Focus on the Family, a Christian organization, is spearheading the effort and encouraging young people of all ages to not only “bring their Bibles to school” but to also “talk about it with friends.”

Check out just some of the photos that parents and others are sharing on social media below:

They were super excited to carry their Bibles to school today. Piper read stories from her book to us the whole way to school. I pray they are always a light for Him and excited to share The Word! #bringyourbibletoschoolday #bringyourbible #sharetheword

Today hundreds of thousands of students will put their First Amendment into practice by participating in #BringYourBible to School Day. * “This is an event that is a visual reminder to students of their basic right to freely live out their faith,” Cushman said. “They can have their Bible on their desks during free reading time, they can read it during free time, and they can talk about it with their friends during free periods as well as before and after class.”
