Palm Sunday. A Day To Remember It's Meaning.

 Happy Palm Sunday! Sure the Roman Catholic Church is once again filled with Catholic devotees. Look at the hundred thousands of people at the Vatican taking a chance to have a glimpse of the new Pope Francis who officiated the Palm Sunday mass. Is it the new Pope that brought them there in front of the Holy Church or the special once in a year occasion calls for it? Truth is devoted parishioners always have that energy to attend mass whenever the Church has to remind them of the feast of saints or during the Lent season. However with the new Pope officiating the mass the number of attendees can double.

What to remember on Palm Sunday? It is the day when Jesus Christ had a visit to the Keystone. His first visit to Jerusalem and the whole population of Jerusalem greeted Jesus with palms on their hands waving at him in triumphant appreciation and admiration of his coming to the gate. But what will happen to Jesus next after the greatest entrance is something unpredictable or not or He really made it happened because of His own prophecy or destiny? ONLY GOD KNOWS!

You know that there is no coconut trees here at the island of Vancouver so what I have here are just a sample drawing of palmera above and my old piece of palm given at Saint Patrick's Church. That piece of blessed palm is seven years old already. Wow! Would you believe? Anyway here's wishing you have a safe start of the Lent Season.
