(Franklin County, PA) According to Senator Doug Mastriano, he wants to make a day where one can “recognize the Bible’s longstanding influence on American and Pennsylvania culture, morality and civic life.” Mastriano is recently planning a resolution for designation of September 12th as the “day of the Bible.” That date is when the Aitken Bible was approved for publication in 1782 at a U.S. Congress meeting in Philadelphia as the first complete Bible printed in the United States.
