Abraham Lincoln was elected as President of the United States on two occasions - he started his first term on March 4, 1861 and his second term on March 4, 1865 - just six weeks before he was assassinated.

U.S. President Abraham Lincoln died at 7:22 a.m. on April 15, 1865, although he was shot at 10:15 p.m. on April 14, 1865. Although this has been suggested, I doubt that the position of the hands commemorates the time of Lincoln's assassination or death.
Abraham does not "appear" in the New Testament per se, but there are more than 70 New Testament references to him: 30 in the four gospels, nine in the book of Acts and 32 in the epistles. Occasionally, his name is mentioned repeatedly in the course of a single conversation; in John chapter 8, for example, Abraham is mentioned nine times.
Abraham's name appears 230 times in the Bible, according to my concordance, both in the Old and New Testaments - he is a pretty important bloke - The father of the Jews as well as the Christians. 95 of these references refer to the life story of Abraham, plus there are another 50 references to Abram, his name before God changed it.
