Palm Sunday, April 14, 2019

Lee and I attended the Palm Sunday celebration that started at the House of the Early Fig Church in Bethphage, where the people shouted "Hosanna" and put down clothes and palm leaves in the road, to herald Christ, as their King.  We walked to the church and were part of thousands of Christians who were also there to commemorate Palm Sunday.  Young children sold Palm fronds.  There was an official processional with the Catholic hierarchy,  then nuns, monks, a group called "Hebrew Speakers for Christ, Boy and Girl scouts troops, bands, etc.  We did not do the whole walk, as we had to get back to the Center to prepare for that night's concert, but we enjoyed seeing how Palm Sunday was celebrated.  Here are some pictures:
