Palm Sunday

April 5, 2009 Sunday 5:30 in the afternoon. The Bishop of Calbayog headed the celebration together with Parish Pastors and some priests. The blessing of the palms done at Sacred Heart Plaza attended by many catholic people. Right after the blessings we all proceed to the church for the Holy Mass.

Palm Sunday is a Christian moveable feast which falls on the sunday before Easter Sunday.

In many Christian churches, Palm Sunday is marked by the distribution of leaves to the assembled worshipers. The feast commemorates an event mentioned by all four gospel Mark, Matthew, Luke and John.... the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem in the days before his Passion.
