President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance on Monday attended a church service just hours before the inauguration.

The service took place at St. John’s Episcopal Church near the White House. The two men were joined by their wives Melania Trump and Usha Vance.

Other attendees at the church service included Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, according to CNN.

The tradition of going to a worship service on Inauguration Day started with President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933.

After Trump is sworn in, he is expected to sign multiple executive orders relating to immigration, one of the top issues he ran on during the campaign.
