Former US President Jimmy Carter postpones his usual daily routine on Sunday, which is to follow Mass online, to celebrate his ninety-ninth birthday with his wife, Rosalynn, and their children and grandchildren in Plains, Georgia.
The celebration will be in the same one-story building where the Carters lived before he was first elected to the Georgia Senate in 1962.
Carter’s family sees the celebration as a way to honor his personal legacy.
But birthday wishes for the former president poured in from all over the world as well.
Celebrities and political figures wore hats reading “Jimmy Carter 99” as they broadcast video messages to the former president.
The Jimmy Carter Library and Museum and the Carter Center announced that they will devote an entire weekend to the celebration, which will include a naturalization ceremony on Sunday for ninety-nine new American citizens.
