Udupi: Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus Christ’s entry into Jerusalem for the completion of the Paschal Mystery and was observed at Milagres Cathedral, Kallianpur of the Udupi diocese near here on Sunday, March 25.

The Palm Sunday ceremony, which marks the beginning of the Holy Week, began at 8 am at the Milagres High School near the Cathedral’s entrance gate. Rev. Fr. Stany B Lobo, Rector of the Cathedral and other priests prayed and blessed the palm leaves.

Fr. Stany gave a brief homily after the Gospel readings, where he said, “We carry palm leaves as a tribute of weaving joy, before Christ, victorious over death and also as a symbol of our wavering fickleness, betraying Jesus Christ unto his death”.

After the prayers a large procession of people carrying palm leaves proceeded towards the Cathedral where the palm leaves were blessed. This procession signifies the Jews’ welcoming of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem. Following their example, we proclaim Jesus Christ as victor, “Hosanna to the Son of David”, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord”.

The Palm Sunday Solemn Eucharistic celebration was led by Rev. Fr. Stany B Lobo along with Rev. Fr. Rolwin Aranha, Rev. Fr. Lancy Fernandes SJ, and Rev. Fr. Herald Mathias, Director of Pilar Fathers.

At the end of the mass, Rev. Fr. Stany made the weekly announcements and thanked everyone involved in the devotional observation of Palm Sunday.

Christians all over the world, mark the start of the Holy Week on Palm Sunday and conclude it on Easter Sunday, which celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his death on the cross. Palm Sunday showcases the Kingship of Jesus Christ and commemorates his triumphant riding into Jerusalem while seated on a donkey. The Biblical narrative of this event is brief.
