What happened

President Trump delivered Holy Week remarks at the White House, saying he was delighted to join countless Christians across the country and around the world preparing to celebrate Easter, according to the video. He wished viewers a happy Easter and called it a very holy week.

Trump recounted the arc of the week as he described it: on Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem as crowds welcomed him with praise, honoring him as king, yet he had come not to take a throne but to carry a cross — not only to reign, but to save. On Good Friday, he said, the son of God was nailed to the cross, crucified, and died for all of us; it was a day of darkness, but it was not the end.

On Easter Sunday, he said, the stone was rolled away and the grave was empty, and Christians everywhere rejoiced in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which he called the great miracle. He closed by saying people from every nation, language, and background can press through any trial and endure any hardship, and that with Christ nothing can separate humanity from God’s everlasting love, as he stated it.

Why it matters

The remarks are the president’s formal Holy Week message, part of the administration’s public observance of Easter at the White House.
