The most festive Holy Week in White House history will conclude with the annual Easter Egg Roll on the White House South Lawn, Monday.
This cherished annual event, expected to draw 40,000 people, according to a statement from President Trump, could not be held until the White House first participated in five consecutive days of prayer and service commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in 33 AD.
Suitably, the White House’s Holy Week celebrations began with President Trump hosting an Easter prayer dinner among faith leaders on Wednesday, April 16.
At the prayer dinner, President Trump told the history of Jesus Christ’s triumphant resurrection, and touted his newly created White House Faith Office.
On Thursday, April 17, the White House staff participated in a private prayer service honoring Holy Thursday.
One particularly moving moment during the service was captured by a Hillsdale College alumnus here:

On Good Friday, Vice President Vance landed in Rome, Italy. Accompanied by his family, Vice President Vance attended a Good Friday service at the historic Saint Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican City.
On Holy Saturday, Vice President Vance returned to the Vatican City to meet with Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin and visit the Sistine Chapel.
Vice President Vance met with the now-late Pope Francis and attended Easter Sunday Mass in the Vatican City, while President Trump attended an Easter Sunday service at the White House.
To conclude the holiest week on the Christian calendar, the White House staff will volunteer to create a special and memorable day for God’s most precious gift, our children, at the annual Easter Egg Roll.
