The Easter Holidays are around the corner. It is sad that we cannot fully participate in Easter activities at school. This Sunday, on April 5th, we celebrate Palm Sunday. Unfortunately, we will not be able to go to church. Palm Sunday marks the moment when the son of God entered the Holy City on the back of a donkey. Believers use the day to remember Jesus' entry into the city, before he was betrayed, crucified and resurrected. Palm branches are widely recognised as a symbol of peace and victory, and were thrown before the feet of conquering heroes in biblical times. Gospel writers say crowds lay palm branches and clothes at Jesus' feet to honour him as he arrived in Jerusalem. It was predicted in the Old Testament that people would recognise the Messiah when he rode into the city and lay palms at his feet.
