Palm Sunday..03.16.08 Start of Holy Week

It's Palm Sunday, we all knew that this is the the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem in the days before his Passion. This the last 2 Sundays in the Lenten Season..

Here in the Philippines, we call it "Palaspas". Mostly there are lots of decorated leaves of coconut along the sides of churches. So we used it, and attended the Mass. After the Mass, some of the Priest bless those "Palaspas" with the Holy water. Some of the Churches, they do the blessings before the Mass and it is outside the Church to avoid stampede. After the blessings and the Mass, most of us we put those "Palaspas" in the front of the gate in our houses, or we put that in the doors. It symbolizes that we welcome or beloved Jesus Christ in our houses and in our hearts.

I think it's the time for us to commemorate or to remember the last days of Jesus Christ before his Passion. It's the for us also to pray for him and remember all the sufferings with our own lives.

Me and my Husband attended the Mass. I pray and thank him, for the 2nd life and for the survival she given to me.
