PALM SUNDAY 2025

Palm Sunday is the Sunday before Easter. It marks the first day of Holy Week for the Catholic church. It is the event of the triumphant entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem and celebrated in many Catholic churches. Devotees observe it with processions, blessing of palm leaves or branches after attending the Sunday Mass. Today, as a devout Catholic, I attended the Palm Sunday Mass at Sto. Nino de Molino Parish Church at Bacoor City, Cavite. Here are some photos I took at the church.

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.

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.
