Exclusive: The White House is preparing for the “extraordinary” celebration of Holy Week before Easter, and President Donald Trump has joined many events to celebrate and praise the “deserved” holiday.
The new White House Face Office has held its Holy Week schedule.
“The newly created White House Face Office is grateful that President Trump shares his honor and celebrating Holy Week and Easter with the observance it deserves,” Jennifer Cone, face director of the White House Face Office, told Fox News Digital.
“Through the week, we will distribute Holy Week Declarations, which will host special presidential video messages (and) and Easter services for East House staff.”

“It will be a special time for prayers and worship at the White House to share with Americans celebrating the week leading up to Sunday’s revival.”
On Palm Sunday, the President is expected to issue the President’s Easter Declaration, where Holy Week begins, with his commitment to protecting the Christian faith in schools, military, workplaces, hospitals, government and beyond.

On Monday, the president is scheduled to release a Holy Week video and will host an Easter dinner on Wednesday evening.
The dinner will feature hymns from the Marine Corps band, a Christian Opera by singer Charles Billingsley, and a prayer and speech by President Trump.

Christian pastors, priests and faith leaders are expected to attend dinner with the President, Cohn, White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt and the Rev. Paula White, a senior adviser to the White House Face Office.
On holy Thursday, the president is expected to hold a staff service at the White House. At the White House, Pastors White, Rev. Franklin Graham, Rev. Greg Laurie and Rev. Gentezen Franklin will be praying, taking part in the Bible, worship and communion.
During the service, the Liberty University Ensemble will play worship music.
“President Trump has promised millions of Christians across the country to create a White House faith office, and he has fulfilled that promise,” Levitt said. “The White House Face Office has put together a week-long celebration for Holy Week before Easter Sunday.”
Leavitt emphasized this as “another sharp contrast from the previous administration.”

Leavitt said last year the Biden White House marked Easter Sunday on March 31, 2024, as the strictest Christian holiday, the day of transgender visibility.

“On Transgender Day of Vision, we respect the extraordinary courage and contribution of transgender Americans and reaffirm our nation’s commitment to form a more complete union, where all people are created equally and treated equally throughout their lives,” Biden White House said.
“Today, we send a message to all transgender Americans. You are loved. You are heard. You are understood. You belong. You are America, your entire administration, and I have your back.” “Therefore, I, Joseph R. Biden Jr., President of the United States, declares here on March 31, 2024 as transgender day of sight, thanks to the powers granted to me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States.”

The Biden defender had quickly said he did not choose March 31 as the date for transgender visibility. Since 2021, when Biden took office, the White House issued the same declaration every year on March 31st.

Lewitt, who was the national spokesman for the Trump campaign at the time, blew up Biden’s declaration as “a appalling insult,” calling it an example of the Biden administration’s “year-old attack on the Christian faith.”
“We call on Joe Biden’s failed campaign and the White House to apologise to millions of Catholics and Christians across America who believe tomorrow is only one celebration.
