During the National Prayer Breakfast on Feb 5, 2026, Donald Trump announced a planned national prayer event.
The event is scheduled for May 17, 2026 on the National Mall. It’s called “Rededicate 250.”
The goal is to gather Americans to pray and symbolically “rededicate America as one nation under God.”
Why it’s happening
2026 marks the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence (the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776).
The event is part of broader celebrations leading up to July 4, 2026, sometimes called the “Semiquincentennial.”
Important clarification
It does NOT legally change the U.S. government into a religious state. It’s a symbolic prayer gathering and celebration, similar in spirit to things like the U.S. National Day of Prayer, where leaders invite people to pray for the country.
In short:
Trump announced a national prayer event on May 17, 2026.
The aim is a symbolic rededication of the country to God, tied to America’s 250-year anniversary.
