Melania Trump Revives Iconic White House Tradition
In a heartening announcement that resonates with the core values of faith, family, and freedom, Melania Trump has declared the return of the cherished White House Easter Egg Roll. This event, set for April 21, marks the first of President Trump’s second term and promises to be a celebration of traditional values and community spirit.
Melania Trump will host the event on the iconic South Lawn, inviting families with children aged 13 and younger to partake in this time-honored tradition. The process to secure free tickets is simple and accessible, with families able to apply through an online lottery. This lottery opens on Tuesday and closes on March 10, with results announced on March 18. Each application requires at least one child and one adult, with a maximum of six tickets and two adults per submission.
The Easter Egg Roll is more than just a festive gathering; it is a celebration of Christian faith and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The egg, a symbol of new life and resurrection, serves as a powerful reminder of Christ’s triumph over death and sin. This event is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the importance of passing down these values to the next generation.
Volunteers are also encouraged to apply online to assist with the event, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose. The festivities will include live entertainment, storytelling, arts and crafts, appearances by costumed characters, and the famous Easter Egg Roll and Hunt, ensuring a day filled with joy and fellowship.
This announcement comes in stark contrast to last year’s controversy, where President Joe Biden faced criticism for designating “Transgender Day of Visibility” on Easter Sunday, a decision that many Christian leaders and conservative politicians found offensive. The Trump campaign, through spokesperson Karoline Leavitt, called the decision “appalling and insulting,” urging Biden to apologize to the millions of Christians who hold Easter as a sacred observance.
The White House Easter Egg Roll, a tradition dating back to the late 19th century, is a celebration that unites communities in the spirit of faith and freedom. It was first established under President Rutherford B. Hayes and has since evolved into a beloved public event. While it was not held in 2020 and 2021 due to public health concerns, its return under the Trump administration is a welcome embrace of tradition and values that are central to the American spirit.
In these times, when the significance of faith and family is more crucial than ever, the return of the Easter Egg Roll serves as a beacon of hope and a reminder of the enduring principles that have shaped our nation. As we gather to celebrate this joyous occasion, let us reaffirm our commitment to upholding these values and passing them on to future generations.

Faith Facts
- Rev. Paul Rasmussen will leave his role as senior pastor at Highland Park United Methodist Church in Dallas, effective February 1, 2026.
- Diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, Rasmussen announced his transition to emeritus status last year, with Rev. Matt Tuggle to succeed him.
- Rasmussen has served the church for over 25 years, leading efforts to expand ministry and championing resilience rooted in faith.
Rev. Paul Rasmussen inspired his congregation by emphasizing perseverance and faith in times of challenging change, drawing parallels from life’s hardships to biblical principles. He recounted a story of two boys rebuilding a sandcastle as a lesson in choosing faith and action over despair.
“You can either cut and start crying and run, or you can simply reach down and pick the shovel up and get to work with whatever remains. But that really is your choice,” Rasmussen shared.
Reflecting on decades in ministry, Rasmussen noted that everything in life is temporary except God, reminding believers to anchor their hope in the Lord’s unchanging nature. He viewed his transition not as an ending, but as a faithful new beginning in God’s plan.
“Life is full of endings. But the beauty of life is that every ending is also at the same time a new beginning,” he said. “They come together. They’re on the same platform. … Every ending is a new beginning. It just depends on how you look at it.”
Let us keep Rev. Rasmussen and Highland Park UMC in our prayers, trusting God’s hand to lead their next chapter and reaffirming our commitment to strong faith, resilient families, and the freedom to serve our communities.
