Palm Sunday:

As has been practiced for a long time now, the Holy Week officially starts with the commemoration of Palm Sunday - and as shown in this picture, church devotees would bring palms as props to mass and as it seems these past years - I say this because it seemed not ot be the case in my childhood, the priest would then have a mini-dramatization of Palm Sunday.

This picture was taken using my zoom lens - though I felt it better not to zoom in and capture the environment as well. As you can see, we did not attend Palm Sunday in church but rather in the Greenhills Promenade mall where we frequent going to early Sunday mass... and in the mass, the gospel dramatization was no exception - thus Bryce and Bernice, both carrying a palm each, joined the rest fo the crowd to go around the priest - listen to the sermon, and wave their palms upon instruction - as he (the priest) blesses the palms, before requesting everyone to return to their seats and continue the mass.
