President Trump is placing a national spotlight on Holy Week, unveiling a series of high-profile events at the White House to mark Easter with renewed emphasis on faith and tradition.
The celebrations include prayer services, public scripture readings, and a large-scale Easter event on the South Lawn, designed to honor the spiritual significance of the season. Trump, speaking during one of the gatherings, emphasized the importance of preserving America’s Christian heritage and called Easter a time for national reflection and renewal.
The White House confirmed this year’s observance is one of the most expansive in recent history, with increased participation from religious leaders, faith-based organizations, and families from across the country. Events throughout the week have featured sermons, musical performances, and a focus on unity through spiritual values.
Trump has repeatedly voiced his commitment to upholding religious freedom and ensuring faith remains a visible part of American life. His remarks during the Holy Week observance echoed those sentiments, calling the Easter season “a celebration of hope, sacrifice, and redemption.”
The administration says it plans to make these expanded religious events an annual tradition, framing them as a way to bring the country together in shared belief and purpose.
