First family celebrates Easter at St. John's Episcopal Church, a favorite presidential house of worship

From The Daily News-

The famed church is only a short walk from the White House across Pennsylvania Ave. and Lafayette Park. The church has designated a pew nine rows back as 'The President's Pew' with a brass plague. Church history claims every President since James Madison has visited.

President Barack Obama attended Easter services at an Episcopal church near the White House where past presidents frequently have worshipped.


The President, First Lady Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia took the short walk across Lafayette Park to St. John’s Church Sunday morning.

Obama was greeted by several parishioners with handshakes and smiles as the church members were returning to their seats from Holy Communion, which the first family also joined.
