President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump proudly celebrated Easter, calling the sacred day a cornerstone of America’s Christian heritage. The Trump administration embraced the holiday with reverence and tradition, hosting events highlighting the spiritual significance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. From White House Easter Egg Rolls to national addresses that acknowledged the importance of faith in public life, Trump’s Easter celebrations stood in stark contrast to the secular tone often adopted by prior administrations, reminding Americans that faith, family, and freedom remain at the heart of the nation’s identity.

On Monday, standing next to the Easter Bunny, Trump and the First Lady greeted the large crowd of families on the White House lawn to honor Jesus Christ's resurrection. This is a stark contrast to last year's event in which former President Joe Biden took the day to honor transgenders.  

While speaking to reporters, Trump emphasized the importance of religion, suggesting he would keep it at the forefront of his administration.

Trump praised Melania for all of her hard work putting together the White House Easter Egg Roll. 

 The White House took advantage of declining egg prices for its annual Easter Egg Roll, using about 30,000 real eggs donated by America’s egg farmers to host the 147th Easter tradition.

This year’s White House Easter Egg Roll has taken a different turn, with corporate sponsors taking center stage—a shift from the traditional backing by the American Egg Board. The board has long supported the event to help keep corporate advertising off White House grounds. However, this year, companies like Amazon, YouTube, and Meta sponsored various stations throughout the event.

Sponsors who contributed $200,000 received a “custom 30'x30' branded activation,” four tickets to the WHEER brunch with Melania Trump, and their choice of a meet-and-greet or a White House tour.

Trump reminded Americans that former President Joe Biden required the Easter Bunny's assistance to guide him, in case he forgot where to go, which happened more often that not. Maybe that's why the Democratic Party left Biden out of its Easter post. 

However, what a difference a year can make.
