Palm Sunday March 28

Join us for Palm Sunday Mass, March 28, 11:00 am, Queen of Martyrs Church.

The truth behind the tradition of bearing palms today goes back to the story of Palm Sunday, when the people heard that Christ was coming and “they took out palm branches and went out to meet him and cried out ‘Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, [even] the king of Israel.’” (John 12:13). It was a tradition to spread palms before a king as he processed into his city. It was a way to welcome him, to show him glory and homage. Thus, Christ, the true King, was welcomed into Jerusalem.
