April 05, 2021 The US President, Joe Biden, made his traditional Easter greeting accompanied by First Lady Jill from the balcony of the 'blue room' of the White House, also flanked by the typical giant rabbit (the Easter Bunny), life size, also him with the mask.



Traditionally, since 1878, the Easter egg roll has been organized in the White House on Easter Monday, canceled due to the pandemic.

It is an event dedicated to children and for which 30,000 tickets are usually distributed.

Biden said he was eager to organize the 'Easter egg roll' next year, when Covid


has been beaten.



This year, Lieutenant Colonel Brandon Westling, from the Air Force, took on the role of the Easter Bunny.

The entire east portico of the White House was decorated with bunnies with masks.

The president and the first lady distributed wooden souvenir eggs at vaccination sites this year.
