The 74th United States National Prayer Breakfast took place on Tuesday morning; it's traditionally attended by the president and Members of Congress.
Republican Senator from Kansas, Dr. Roger Marshall, and Democratic Sen. from New York, Kirsten Gillibrand, served as this year's honorary co-chairs. The event took place at the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C.
Every U.S. president has attended the breakfast since Dwight D. Eisenhower first made an appearance in 1953.
The National Prayer Breakfast was established in 1953 when President Eisenhower accepted an invitation to join members of Congress for what was then an early version of the event. The morning event is built around speeches and prayer, featuring remarks from the president and other invited speakers.
President Donald Trump made his sixth appearance at the annual event.
