Palm Sunday in Jerusalem
"Palm Sunday" is a Christian moveable feast that falls on the Sunday before Easter, commemorating Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. On April 1 2012, I participated in the colorful Catholic-and-Protestant procession from Bethpage into Jerusalem, and on April 8 2012, I joined the Ethiopian Orthodox ceremony in Deir al-Sultan, on the roof of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
