Trump to Attend a Service at St. John’s Episcopal Church on His Inauguration Day

One of the most venerated traditions is for newly elected presidents to attend services at St. John’s Episcopal Church, the stately yellow edifice with a gold weather vane across Lafayette Park from the White House, Share America writes.

Every chief executive since James Madison, the fourth president, has attended at least one service there, and according to the source, President-elect Donald Trump will uphold the custom that Franklin D. Roosevelt began in 1933 by attending a service on the morning of Inauguration Day.

Customarily, the vice president–elect and Cabinet nominees and their spouses attend too. The Trumps will be seated in Pew 54, which is reserved for the president and marked with a plaque. It is not the first row, but eight back.
