The House Resolution introduced by Borowicz and others designates September 12, 2025, as "The Day of the Bible" in Pennsylvania. This date is significant as it commemorates the approval by the United States Congress of the first complete English-language Bible printed in America, known as the "Aitken Bible," during the American Revolutionary War. The resolution highlights the Bible's role in shaping the moral, cultural, and spiritual heritage of the United States and Pennsylvania, emphasizing its historical importance as a symbol of resilience and unity during a challenging period in the nation's history.
The resolution calls for the residents of Pennsylvania to reflect on the Bible's enduring impact on their cultural and historical identity, reaffirming the principles of liberty, equality, and justice. It encourages schools, civic institutions, and community organizations to observe this day with educational and cultural programs that underscore the Bible's significance in both the past and present of the Commonwealth.
