Today is the Solemnity of Palm Sunday - the day we celebrate Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, and mark the beginning of Holy Week! We celebrate Mass a little differently today, beginning with a procession into the church with palm branches. There are then several readings, including a reading of the Passion itself. It's quite a moving and somber celebration.
Then, when Mass ends, everyone grabs their own palm to make a cross with. Unfortunately this year, the palms were a bit small, but I was able to make a cross out of one of them, and tuck it in behind our crucifix on our living room wall.
Happy Palm Sunday to you all!
