Palm symbolizes of welcoming our Lord Jesus Christ to Jerusalem.
Others call it a Passion Sunday - because of the Love of Jesus to His people, He entered Jerusalem though He knows He gonna suffer and die.
First we bought our Palaspas outside the church, there were lots of vendors selling.
On time we hear the Mass and our Palms were blessed.
Lots of people, so crowded.
I left my babies in one place after the mass because I want to buy something somewhere. When I came back they look so tried than me, he he.
Ehemmmm, just posing with my Mycah , kkkk....
Our Palaspas
The Palms well be displayed outside the gate and doors or entrance of the house, it symbolize that your welcoming Jesus Christ in your home, just like the people of Jerusalem welcomed Jesus.

The palaspas look beautiful. What is the whole decoration made of?
Palm Sunday here isn't celebrated in a special way as you do. Just ordinary service I guess.Your children are growing up fast; soon they are old enough to take care of you right? :-)

Hi Ida,
Thanks for the comment.
Here in the Phils, we use the palm of coconut trees. There are experts in making designs for the Palaspas. Others use the Olive palm but it's so seldom and a bit expensive. I have olive palm plant in the pot but it's not healthy, it has 3 leaves only . So i rather buy the ready made. It's so cheap.
We celebrate 2 big holiday here in the Phils, the Christmas and the Holy Week. Holy week started Palm Sunday and and end on Easter Sunday(tomorrow).
My children are all grown up but still they acted like a babies, perhaps I just spoiled them too much, he he.
I hope they still love and care each other even if I'm gone.
Happy Easter Ida.
Love, Leny
