Had a Beautiful Experience at today's Palm Sunday Mass Service at St. Christopher's Church.... a new Priest held the service... he was much more livelier than the usual new priest... and it was extra special to be able to experience the Blessing of the Palms once more... something I have not witnessed in a looong time....
==================
From WIKI:
Palm Sunday is a Christian moveable feast that falls on the Sunday before Easter. The feast commemorates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, an event mentioned in all four canonical Gospels. (Mark 11:1–11, Matthew 21:1–11, Luke 19:28–44, and John 12:12–19).
In many Christian churches, Palm Sunday is marked by the distribution of palm leaves (often tied into crosses) to the assembled worshipers. The difficulty of procuring palms for that day's ceremonies in unfavorable climates for palms led to the substitution of boughs of box, yew, willow or other native trees. The Sunday was often designated by the names of these trees, as Yew Sunday or by the general term Branch Sunday.
