It's Palm Sunday!

April 1.  For others, it's April Fool's Day, but for me, it's Palm Sunday.

Catholics raising their Palm Leaves for Blessings

The Palm Sunday is the first day of the Holy Week.  It is celebrated by the Catholics all over the world every year where they bring "Crosses" made out of palm leaves when they go to church. They do this by raising these long stalks of leaves and have it blessed by the Priest with Holy Water.  This is also the reason why it's called, "Palm Sunday."


After the Catholic mass, people would hang this on their house doors to get "blessings" from the Lord as a part of the tradition.

I am a Catholic myself  but it is my first time to be in this event.  I could say that I felt God's presence and blessings when the Holy Water was sprinkled all over us mass-goers.  It has been a nice experience.

I encourage my fellow Catholics to never stop this practice and keep the faith with all their hearts.
