Washington's First Inaugural Day
At the first presidential inauguration on April 30, 1789, in New York City, George Washington took his oath with his hand on the Bible, added "so help me God" to the end of the oath, kissed the Bible, gave an Inaugural Address in which he repeatedly acknowledged God, and then walked with other officials to a church service at St. Paul's Chapel, which features a large display of the Ten Commandments above the altar. Washington demonstrated what he declared in his Inaugural Address: "No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the Invisible Hand which conducts the affairs of men more than the people of the United States."
