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
- Children in impoverished areas face greater risk of leprosy due to overseas aid cuts, with stigma and isolation compounding their suffering.
- The Leprosy Mission warns that funding reductions hinder early detection and treatment efforts, leaving more cases undetected, especially among children.
- Christian advocates emphasize a duty to compassionately serve and restore every child affected, reflecting Christ’s call to love and action.
Young lives are diminished by leprosy when funding falters and support systems weaken, especially in underserved communities. Scarce resources mean children are denied opportunities for treatment, education, and acceptance, in direct opposition to our calling to uplift the vulnerable.
The Leprosy Mission is raising awareness during World Leprosy Day, urging believers and leaders to stand united for hope and healing. Community outreach and Christ-centered compassion are vital to end both the disease and its devastating stigma.
“The physical damage to young bodies is devastating — nerve damage, disability and pain. But the emotional damage is even deeper,” said Peter Waddup, chief executive of The Leprosy Mission Great Britain.
“Leprosy has become increasingly hidden. Hidden children and hidden suffering. Hidden because governments don’t prioritise it and overstretched health systems cannot keep up.”
“At The Leprosy Mission, we believe every child is created by God, known by name and born to be loved. Where there is suffering, we have a shared responsibility to respond with compassion.”
He added, “In the name of Jesus, we can spare Generation Alpha from leprosy and every generation that follows.”
Let us answer the biblical call to love our neighbors, advocating for dignity, healing, and hope among the world’s most vulnerable, so that no child is left behind in the shadows.
Faith Facts
- Leprosy continues to devastate children in Asia and Africa, causing lifelong disability and heartbreak.
- Stigma and lack of resources often mean children are left untreated and suffer in silence.
- Government aid cuts and global apathy have left vulnerable communities without help or hope.
Compassion for the most marginalized reveals the heart of Christ’s teaching, calling us not to turn away from children in need.
The suffering of Generation Alpha due to leprosy reminds us of the Biblical call to “defend the cause of the fatherless,” regardless of geography.
“Our compassion should transcend postcodes, passports and borders.”
This injustice cries out for a faith-driven response, refusing to let distance or discomfort blind us to real suffering.
By refusing apathy and embracing hope, we can help deliver healing and freedom to these children.
Christ commands us to love our neighbor.
Let us pray, act, and stand for every child afflicted by leprosy, showing the world that Christian faith leads with mercy, courage, and truth.
Faith Facts
- Jennifer Melle, a Christian nurse in England, had a disciplinary case dropped after pressure from leaders and the public.
- She was investigated for using accurate language regarding a male patient who identified as female, despite facing abuse from the patient.
- Melle will challenge her treatment at an employment tribunal, standing for truth and freedom of conscience.
Jennifer Melle was cleared after months of scrutiny simply for upholding truth and Christian principles in the workplace. Hospital officials backed down following public support and political intervention.
Eight Members of Parliament and many supporters stood up for Melle, recognizing the erosion of fairness when faith and conscience are punished rather than protected.
“It has been an incredibly long and painful journey,” Melle said, expressing gratitude for those who supported her stand for faith and justice.
Her ordeal is a reminder of the increasing challenges Christians face in public service when Biblical convictions conflict with prevailing ideologies.
Melle’s story encourages believers to remain steadfast, trusting God’s guidance while standing boldly for faith, family, and freedom in society.
