Atmore marked the National Day of Prayer Thursday with several events, drawing the faithful and pastors from Alabama and Florida. A prayer walk was held at Atmore City Hall, followed by prayer at the Veterans Memorial. A community prayer service and Bible reading was held Thursday afternoon in the Cornell Torrence Gym at Escambia County High School.
Community, business and spiritual leaders led those gathered in prayer before the annual Bible reading for government, the church, the family, media, education and business.

Not a serpent. I added an explanation to the cutline in the story:
“A woman plays a shofar, an ancient musical horn made from a ram’s horn and used for religious purposes.”
The shofar was used as a call to prayer, call to battle…an attention getter of sorts.
