The National Day of Prayer is considered a vital part of the American heritage and has great significance for the nation. However, some now consider the National Day of Prayer, which is the first Thursday in May, to be unconstitutional. According to USA Today, US District Judge Barbara Crabb judged last last month that the government can no more enact laws supporting a day of prayer than it can encourage citizens to fast during Ramadan, attend a synagogue or practice magic.
