Amidst COVID-19 restrictions, the Christian community in Kochi and suburbs celebrated Palm Sunday, heralding the Holy Week during which the community recalls the New Testament accounts of the crucifixion of Jesus and resurrection. The Palm Sunday observance at the St. Francis Assisi Cathedral in the city was led by Archbishop Joseph Kalathiparambil of Varapuzha. The celebrations included the blessing of the palm leaves. The Palm Sunday observance is a recollection of biblical account of the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem ahead of his trial at a Roman governor’s court after which he was condemned to death by crucifixion.More Related News
