Information About

Grace (prayer)




This probably originated with the Jewish mealtime prayer "baruch Adonai Elohenu melek haolam..." (Blessed are You O Lord our God, King of the Universe...)

In American Christianity the head of the household often adlibs a special grace on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter while the others observe a Moment Of Silence .
