Christians refer to the week before Easter as Holy Week, beginning on Palm Sunday which marked the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem. On Holy Wednesday, Judas met with the high priest and agreed to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. This act of betrayal set in motion the chain of events that would lead to Jesus’ arrest, trial, and crucifixion.

The Easter Egg Roll takes place all day Monday, when thousands of children will fill the White House's South Lawn. Face masks will be available at the events “for those who choose to wear them,” a statement from the White House said. Officials will monitor the state of COVID-19 and change plans as necessary. Tickets will be given on a first-come, first-served basis, with one ticket given per person. Among the attendees was Nicole Favuzza, as well as her husband and kids, who recently moved to Maryland from San Antonio, Texas, and are stationed as active duty in the U.S.

Easter eggs designed by students from all 56 states and territories are on display at the East Colonnade of the White House. The group included John Watson of Braswell Family Farms in North Carolina, who donated 30,000 eggs to the roll. Before visiting the South Lawn, the first couple had breakfast with 40 egg farmers, many members of the American Egg Board, a marketing organization for egg producers.

The event comes as egg prices could be leveling out after sharp increases earlier this year due to the bird flu, continued supply chain issues and other disruptions. In February, retail egg prices were down 6.7% from January, but still up 55% from February last year. Last year's event, also themed "EGGucation," was the first Easter Egg Roll held at the White House since 2019. Biden, 30, has obvious ties to politics, but she also married a political junkie. Her husband, Peter Neal, interned at the White House during the Obama administration, and contributed to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

The imprint on the pink, orange, aqua blue, and green-colored eggs depicts the North Portico of the White House with decorated Easter eggs. The “Biden Blue” egg included in the set, features a special Easter Bunny imprint with First Pets, pup Commander and cat Willow. Signatures of the president and first lady are printed on the back of the four colored eggs and Commander and Willow’s paw prints are featured on the back of the “Biden Blue” egg.

His actions are contrary to the beliefs and moral values of this religious group. The Biden administration excluded Christian religious symbols on Easter but allowed and supported Ramadan ideology and symbols. Furthermore, Biden issued an official Presidential Proclamation for “Transgender Day of Visibility” on Easter, the holiest day of the year for Christians.

So today, we hope you learn, explore, and grow by listening to a story in the Reading Nook, rolling some eggs, playing with circuit boards, or building robots — and, most of all, having fun. "Today we hope you learn, explore and grow by listening to a story, rolling some eggs, playing with circuit boards or building some robots," the first lady said in opening remarks.
