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
- St. Stephen was the first Christian martyr, commemorated on December 26, widely known as St. Stephen’s Day.
- Chosen for his faith and filled with the Holy Spirit, Stephen was among seven men appointed to serve the early Church’s needs.
- Stephen’s bold witness led to his stoning, as he prayed for his persecutors, mirroring Christ’s example of forgiveness and faithfulness.
The name Stephen means “wreath” or “crown” and is honored in nations of Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant heritage. Stephen’s legacy testifies to the enduring strength of Christian faith and sacrificial love.
Scripture in Acts highlights Stephen’s selection as a servant leader addressing the needs of believers, especially widows among Greek-speaking Jews. His courage in the face of false accusations and his powerful witness before the Sanhedrin showed a faith rooted deeply in God’s truth.
Luke records that as Stephen faced martyrdom, “his face was like the face of an angel.”
With his dying breath, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit,” and asked forgiveness for his attackers, echoing the compassion and mercy of Christ Himself.
Stephen’s martyrdom sparked early persecution, scattering believers to share the Gospel, fulfilling Christ’s promise that His followers would be witnesses beyond Jerusalem.
Let us remember Stephen’s steadfastness as an example to trust God boldly, extend forgiveness, and proclaim truth—foundations for godly living in our families and nation.
