In the central Philippine province of Nueva Ecija, Bishop Roberto Mallari of San Jose leads the blessing of palm fronds at the St. Joseph the Worker Cathedral on Palm Sunday, March 24.
Palm Sunday is the day Christians remember and honor Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem a week before his crucifixion. Palm Sunday can also be referred to as Passion Sunday.
The Holy Week, which is observed from Palm Sunday until Easter Sunday, is the most sacred period in the liturgical year of Christianity, marked by prayers, penance, and reflections.
We work tirelessly each day to tell the stories of those living on the fringe of society in Asia and how the Church in all its forms - be it lay, religious or priests - carries out its mission to support those in need, the neglected and the voiceless.
