Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying, “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.
Matthew 21:1-11

HOSANNA!
Noelle,
ReplyDeleteI just saw palms today sitting on one of the seats at church. This is a beautiful picture of the Christian holding the palms in her hands.
If I don't get a chance to come by again, I wanted to wish you a Happy Easter, Noelle.

Hi Noelle,
ReplyDeleteWhat a striking image of Palm Sunday, powerful in prayer!
My mom and I attended Palm Sunday services, too, yesterday, as the Greek Orthodox Easter falls at the same time with the Catholic one, this year.
Wishing you a very joyous Easter!
