Bible detail ‘family heirloom’ at Biden’s inauguration: dating back to 1893, using it in every ceremony

The Bible detail in the oath ceremony of Joe Biden, who took an oath in Washington DC, the US capital, drew attention. The new president Biden has been using the Bible, which has been in the Biden family since 1893 and has a Celtic cross, in inauguration ceremonies since 1973. 

Joe Biden, the new president of the USA, took an oath in Washington DC the other day.

First Lady Jill Biden held the Bible, embraced by Biden, who took an oath before Chief Justice John Roberts.

The Bible, kept by the new First Lady, has a long history.

The Bible with a Celtic cross has been in the Biden family since 1893.

The Bible, first used by Joe Biden in the Senate inauguration ceremony in 1973, is used by the Biden family on important occasions.

About the Bible, which was also used by Joe Biden in the oaths he made as vice president in 2009 and 2013, Biden said, “This is the family ruler for us. Every important date is there. For example, whenever I swear on something, that date is written in the Bible.”

The Bible with the Celtic cross on it is so important to Biden that the oath was postponed because the Bible was not there at the time of taking the oath at the Senate in 2009.

The Bible was also used by Biden’s son, Beau Biden, who died. Beau Biden also used the bible, when he was sworn in as Delaware’s attorney general in 2007.

WHO ARE THE CELTS?

The Celtic cross on the Bible also comes from the Celts, one of the peoples that lived in Europe during the early ages.

Celtic word, meaning brave, warrior, virtuous, was first mentioned by the Greek historian Hecataeus BC. It is mentioned in Greek mythologies in 517. 

In 2000 BC the Celts migrated from their homeland, Central Europe. Most of them settled in Spain, Gaul and the British Isles. They contain many features within their structure. Besides their warrior personalities, they had advanced hunting tactics compared to the era. They are also very advanced in agriculture. 

Celts worship the gods of the countryside, whom they regard as the protector of their products as religious beliefs. They believed in the clergy, the prophet and judge-qualified druites, who were the guardians of their traditions. They used to live under the auspices of the Druites.

Celts paid great attention to religious beliefs. Religion was an end for them. According to Celtic belief, horse meat was not eaten. There is no written culture in the Celts. The priests called Durid ruled the people and wrote poems. The religion of the Celts is one of the polytheistic religions. Their most important god is the sun god. His name is Lugus. Today, Lugus is identified with Apollo. 

Today, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Isle of Man, Breton and Cornwall are considered Celtic Civilizations, but they were destroyed by the Romans in 100 years after Christ. In general, it lived until the Middle Ages. However, researches show that even today the existence of this civilization in Breton and Ireland regions is partially.
