As Holy Week unfolds, the White House under President Trump is placing the Christian faith front and center, marking Easter with a series of reverent and high-profile events. This year’s observance stands in stark contrast to the secular drift of recent years, as the administration delivers a clear message: faith, family, and freedom are at the heart of America’s identity. The week began with a presidential proclamation that powerfully acknowledges the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, reminding the nation of the hope and redemption found in the Gospel.
Throughout the week, the White House Faith Office—newly established under Trump’s leadership—has orchestrated a robust schedule of prayer gatherings, worship services, and a special dinner with faith leaders. Figures such as Reverend Franklin Graham, Pastor Greg Laurie, and Pastor Paula White have joined the president in prayer and worship, emphasizing the administration’s commitment to defending religious liberty and celebrating the bedrock values that have shaped the nation. The events, livestreamed for Americans across the country, have been filled with hymns, scripture readings, and heartfelt calls for national renewal and unity.
President Trump’s messages during Holy Week have been unapologetically Christian, focusing on the sacrifice of Christ and the promise of eternal life through His resurrection. He has called for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the nation and urged Americans to pray for a future that reflects the truth, beauty, and goodness of Christ’s eternal kingdom. The president’s words have resonated with millions who believe that America’s strength is rooted in its faith and its willingness to stand for biblical principles in the public square.
This approach is a welcome departure from the previous administration’s controversial decisions, such as recognizing a Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday—a move that many saw as an affront to the sacredness of the holiday. By contrast, President Trump’s White House is ensuring that Easter is honored with the reverence it deserves, focusing on the message of Christ’s victory over death rather than political agendas that undermine the nation’s spiritual heritage. The establishment of the Faith Office further cements this administration’s commitment to religious freedom and the role of faith in American life.
As Easter Sunday approaches, the White House’s dedication to celebrating Holy Week serves as a powerful reminder of the values that unite the nation. In a time when many feel that faith is under attack, President Trump’s leadership is giving Christians across America reason to hope and a renewed sense of belonging. The message is clear: America is, and must remain, a nation of believers—one that honors God, cherishes religious liberty, and draws strength from the timeless story of Christ’s resurrection.
