and first lady Melania Trump attended Christmas service at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. on Monday night.

The Trumps were escorted to a front pew of the church as services began, with the president wearing his overcoat, according to a White House pool report.

The Christmas Eve service, which began at 10 p.m., includes readings from the Holy Scripture, hymns, and choral and instrumental music, according to an event description.

The service is described as "one of most beautiful services of the year" on the cathedral's website.

Trump and Melania last year attended a Christmas Eve service at an Episcopal church in Palm Beach, Fla., CBS New York reported.

This year, Trump has remained in D.C. instead of going to Mar-a-Lago amid the partial government shutdown, which began on Friday.
