Obama recalls Holy Land at prayer breakfast
As he gathered with clergy at the White House on a Friday in early April, President Obama recounted personal details of his recent Holy Land trip, calling it a chance to experience “the eternal spirit of Easter” and feel closer to Jesus.
“For Christians to walk where he walked and see what he saw are blessed moments,” Obama told religious leaders April 5 at the Easter Prayer Breakfast.
As in years past, Obama used the annual Easter-themed breakfast to meet with Christian leaders and also to speak openly about his faith.
