FIRST ON FOX: The White House is marking Holy Week with days of prayer and worship, including President Donald Trump participating in a number of events to honor Easter and celebrate the “right to religious liberty.”
“President Trump will never waver in safeguarding the right to religious liberty, upholding the dignity of life, and protecting faith in our public square,” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Fox News Digital of the White House’s Holy Week events.
“Millions of Christians across the country will celebrate Jesus Christ conquering death, freeing us from sin, and unlocking the gates of Heaven for all of humanity, and the President is proud to join Americans during this blessed holiday.”
A White House official told Fox News Digital that the president on Wednesday will attend the White House Easter Lunch in the East Room.
The event will feature worship and prayer, and choral performances from the Free Chapel Choir, led by Pastor Jentezen Franklin on the saxophone.
The event will also include prayers from Reverend Franklin Graham, Bishop Robert Barron, Pastor Paula White and others.

On Thursday, Holy Thursday, a White House official told Fox News Digital that all White House staff are invited to attend a worship service in the same room. That service will feature Rev. Franklin Graham; Pastor Jentzen Franklin; Pastor Paula White; and White House Faith Office Director Jenny Korn.
A White House official also told Fox News Digital that President Trump is expected to issue a presidential proclamation honoring Holy Week.
“President Trump wishes Christians across America and around the world a very happy Easter. He is risen, indeed!” Rogers added in comment to Fox News Digital.
The president is also expected to post video messages on his Truth Social account to celebrate Easter and Passover.
A White House official told Fox News Digital that Passover events will take place next week. Passover begins at sundown on Wednesday, April 1 and ends at sundown on Thursday, April 9.
The White House Passover event will take place April 6 in the Indian Treaty Room. Edan Alexander, who was held hostage by Hamas in Gaza for more than 500 days following the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks, and his family will be in attendance. Alexander was the last living American hostage released last year.
Faith has been a focal point of Trump’s second term, including signing an executive order in February 2025 establishing a White House Faith Office.
The office empowers faith-based entities, community organizations and houses of worship “to better serve families and communities,” according to the White House. The office is housed under the Domestic Policy Council and consults with experts in the faith community on policy changes to “better align with American values.”
