Churchgoers waving their palm branches to be bless
Worshipers at Saint James the Greater church
I attended the Sunday mass today. Actually, today is Palm Sunday and it is the start of the Holy Week for all Catholics in the Philippines and around the world. Palm Sunday is a Christian activity that falls on the Sunday before Easter. It is the day that we remember and commemorate the successful entry of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem. The church where I attended are full of worshipers bringing with them different palm branches for the blessing of the priest after the mass. We are doing this as a tradition to recollect the act that was done by a large crowd when Jesus Christ rode a donkey, entered Jerusalem and people gathered to laid palm branches and their cloaks across the road.
