In 2016, during his last full year in office, President Barack Obama released an Easter statement in which he noted that he and his wife “join our fellow Christians in observing Good Friday and celebrating Easter this weekend.”

“This is a time to remember the sacrifices made for us and hold all who suffer close to our hearts,” stated Obama.

“Yet it is also a time to rejoice, give thanks for the Resurrection, and unite with Christians around the world in proclaiming, ‘Christ has risen; He has risen indeed." We wish all who celebrate a blessed and joyful Easter.”
