The footage captures Barack Obama participating in the traditional White House Easter Egg Roll, a historic event dating back to 1878 when President Rutherford B. Hayes revived the tradition by allowing children to roll Easter eggs on the White House lawns after it was banned on Capitol Hill grounds two years earlier.

This year, approximately 40,000 people attended the Easter celebrations, including thousands of military and veteran families, caregivers, and survivors. The festivities commenced at 7 am and continued until 7 pm, offering a day of enjoyment for all attendees.?
