The beginning of the Holy Week leading to Easter, Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem. Scripture speaks of his supporters scattering palm fronds in his path, an act often replicated today with branches of other native trees.

That has prompted the faithful to find alternatives to group prayer in a month in which the festivals of Passover, Easter and Ramadan will be marked in close succession.
Jerusalem is a place where everyone can practice their religion and side by side with others if they so wish, as seen by the Paramedics the other day.
To live and pray in peace, side by side, is a goal everyone should be reaching for
