About the Holiday

World Day of Prayer is a global movement which encourages Christians of many traditions to observe a common day of prayer each year. The motto for this holiday is Informed Prayer and Prayful Action and its roots trace back to the 19th century where U.S. and Canadian women became involved in missions at home and in other parts of the world. Many sources state this as a holiday for Christian women.
