What happened

President Donald Trump delivered a recorded message for Holy Week, published by the White House on April 4, 2026. “This Holy Week, I’m proud to join with Christians across the country and around the world to celebrate the most glorious miracle in all of time — the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,” he said. “In his life, Christ displayed true humility. In his death, he modeled true love. And in his resurrection from the tomb, he proved that even death itself will not silence those who place their trust in Almighty God.”

He closed on the state of faith at home: “This Easter, we also celebrate the extraordinary resurrection of faith and religion in America. Because I have often said, to be a great nation, you must have religion and you must have God.” Church pews on Sunday, he said, “will be fuller, younger, and more faithful than they have at any time in many, many years.” The message ends: “Happy Easter to all, may God bless you, may God bless the United States of America.”

Why it matters

The Holy Week message is the President’s Easter statement of record for 2026, pairing the theological observance with his recurring claim of a national religious revival. It is recorded on the Elections & Governance hub with the week’s other White House observances.
