White House to Host All-Day Prayer Event on National Mall

The Trump administration is hosting an all-day prayer festival on the National Mall on Sunday that organizers say will reflect the country's Christian origins. The event is scheduled to last nine hours. Organizers have said they hope it will spark a movement of renewal in America. Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio and Mike Johnson will speak at the event.

Organizers of the festival have described it as a reflection of the United States' Christian foundations. They plan to present the view that the nation's founders intended the country to be explicitly Christian. The gathering is set to take place on federal property in Washington.

It brings together government officials and participants for extended prayer and related programming throughout the day.

Speakers at the event are expected to address the relationship between U.S. history and Christianity. The festival is described by its backers as an opportunity to renew national focus on those ties. No additional details about security, expected attendance or exact programming schedule have been released.
