Last Sunday March 24 which is Palm Sunday for all Christian Catholics around the world was celebrated that falls on Sunday before Easter. It commemorates Jesus Christ entry to Jerusalem, when he was greeted by the crowds waving Palm branches. In Philippines, we commemorate Palm Sunday by attending the mass and after that the priest will bless the palms as he walks along the aisle of the church and people along waving the palm altogether. Palm Sunday is the start of Holy Week.
