One of the significant celebrations in the Christian calendar is Palm Sunday.. Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week and it's a day that commemorates Jesus Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem.,where he was greeted by crowds waving palm branches and shouting "Hosanna Hossana in the highest."
Although Palm Sunday is a significant day in Christiandom, not many denominations join in the celebration, especially the Pentecostal churches. However,, the day in widely celebrated by The Roman Catholic Church, The Anglican etc.
This photo shows Palm Sunday celebration in Progress in a Catholic Church, Immaculae Heart Catholic Church, Ovom Street, Ogbor Hill, Aba.
The faithfuls gathered at the entrance gate of the church, holding palm branches, as the priest blesses them with holy water.
The atmosphere is filled with devotion and anticipation as the congregation prepares for a procession reenacting Jesus Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
Another event that makes Palm Sunday celebration unique in Catholic Church is the readings of the day, which include "The Passion, which is a narrative of Jesus' suffering, crucifixion, and death from the Gospels, often in a solemn and reflective tone.
The reading typically follows the account from one of the four Gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John, and it's often relayed in a dramatic reading style, with different voices for Jesus Christ (which is hdbodjrfdone by the Priest), the narrator, and other characters - which are handled by the lectors or lay readers.
