President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are hosting the 148th White House Easter Egg Roll today.

The president and first lady will welcome families of children 13 and under to participate in festivities on the South Lawn of the White House.

The White House described the history of the annual event: “The White House Easter Egg Roll officially dates back to 1878 and the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes, but first-hand accounts suggest that informal festivities began with egg-rolling parties under President Abraham Lincoln.“

President and Mrs. Trump will be participating in a Passover event later in the day.

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

• For the safety of the president and first lady as they host the White House Easter egg roll.
• For President and Mrs. Trump as they commemorate religious observances.
• With gratitude for the free exercise of religion the Lord has afforded the people of the United States.
