Trump White House Plans Bold Return to Faith for Holy Week After Biden's Trans Day of Remembrance

In a striking contrast to the often secular tone of past administrations, the White House under President Donald Trump is planning an “extraordinary” Holy Week, emphasizing Easter's spiritual and cultural significance. As the nation prepares to mark the holiest days on the Christian calendar, Trump ensures the observance receives the reverence it deserves—offering a clear nod to the values of faith, tradition, and religious liberty that remain central to millions of Americans.

“President Trump promised millions of Christians across the country that he would create a White House Faith Office, and he delivered on that promise," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said. "The White House Faith Office has put together an extraordinary weeklong celebration for Holy Week ahead of Easter Sunday."

According to the new White House Faith Office, President Trump will attend several events to celebrate and honor the holiest day of the year leading up to Easter. The president is scheduled to mark Holy Week through various events, including a special video message, hosting a pre-Easter dinner, and an Easter service for White House staff.

“The newly created White House Faith Office is grateful to share that President Trump will honor and celebrate Holy Week and Easter with the observance it deserves," faith director of the White House Faith Office Jennifer Korn said, adding that it "will be a special time of prayer and worship at the White House to be shared with Americans celebrating the week leading up to Resurrection Sunday."

Biden wasn’t capable of being President when he ran in 2020 but now he has to take the blame for all the inane policies the power behind the throne (Omama and Soros?) enacted ... not that I feel sorry for him.

2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

Also, remember the repentance of Nineveh and how God stayed his hand as a result.

There will be no “Transgender Day of Visibility” at the White House this Easter, thank God.

If the fed spent half as much money promoting Christian values instead of fags and anti white propaganda we would have a lot less problems in the world today and we wouldn’t need endless foreigners to fill in the aging population

\/

an excellent opportunity to educate the nation.

freedom OF religion

is not

freedom FROM religion

also to educate the nation that it was meant to stop creation of an exclusive state mandated participation of a state religion, like the Church of England we had just freed ourselves from. And maintain Independence from the pope and Rome and its control of Europe, that for centuries brought nothing but competing kings, conflict and war .

Freedom to worship Jesus Christ and God the Father voluntarily ( no one ,including the aclu, is forced to participate. they are free to go snark at God as much as they want )

I don’t think a bold return to faith is the way to put it, fesr and trembling and repentence perhaps...there’s a headline for abortion-addicted America!!!!

not meant as a dig on the Catholic church , just used it as a past example of state mandated control of governments.

Why would your comment be a dig at the Catholic Church?

I agree with your sentiment but I’m just trying to figure out how your comment could in any way be construed as a dig at the Catholic Church?

Quote from my husbands sermon yesterday

“To be crucified was a horrible and humiliating experience. But Jesus allowed this to happen to Himself. Why? Remember what Jesus said? “For this purpose I have come to this hour. Father, glorify Your name.” The answer defies human logic. The Father would be glorified when His one and only Son hung on Calvary’s cross. The Father’s name would be glorified when His Son cried out, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” The Father’s name would be glorified when His Son gave up His physical life, brutalized beyond what any human being could stand. The Father’s name would be glorified because, as His Son said, “And I, when I am lifted up, I will draw all people to Myself.”

No one could go through this pain and suffering unless there was something greater on the other side of the pain and suffering. What was on the other side? What was it that constrained Jesus to allow this to happen to Him?

Do you know what was on the other side of that pain and suffering? You. You. You were on the other side. You are the reason that Jesus, though His soul was troubled, He went through all of this so that you would have the gift of eternal life. The Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world went uncomplaining forth so that He could pay in full the price of our sins and win for us the crown of righteousness, so that He could win for us a gift that will never be taken away, the gift of life eternal. Amen”.
