Palm Sunday

It's Palm Sunday and start of the holy week. This is one of the traditions for Catholics that is commemorated every year.

Honestly, I don't know much when it comes to religion and Bible. I'm sorry if I can't give a deep meaning about this tradition of Catholics though I'm a member of this religion. This is just done as a symbolism or representation to remember the hardships and sufferings that our dear Jesus went through to save us people from sin.

My sister-in-law made these palms to sell outside the church today. A nephew of her presented himself and said that he will be the one to sell it for him to have some money for school. He's very hardworking kid for his age. Sometimes I feel sorry for someone like him who comes from a broken family. He lives in his aunt's house and is struggling. For me, it is still better if the real parents take care of their child.

Since last night, many of the neighbours have been coming to their house to buy palms to be blessed by the priest.

Later, at eight o'clock in the morning, mass will be held here in the Chapel of our barangay. Our barangay is far from the City and the churches, so most of the people here just go to our small Chapel.

By the way, I will not go to church. It's just my nephews and mom. They dressed up early this Palm Sunday to have the priest blessed the palm "palaspas" we bought.

I know that most of the Catholics here on the platform are also early today for church.

Let's have a peaceful commemoration of holy week this year.

Just a short post for today. Thank you for reading!

Good morning.☺️
