SCHREIBER, ON – Antonella Carlino, a Gr. 12 high school student, came into the school to demonstrate to the students on how to weave palms for Palm Sunday.
On Palm Sunday Christians celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, the week before his death and resurrection. For many Christian churches, Palm Sunday, often referred to as “Passion Sunday,” marks the beginning of Holy Week, which concludes on Easter Sunday.
The Bible reveals that when Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowds greeted him by waving palm branches and covering his path with palm branches. Immediately following this great time of celebration in the ministry of Jesus, he begins his journey to the cross.
Students were impressed with the creative possibilities of the palm reeds. Photos HAS
