Palm Sunday in Pictures

Since the early days of the Christian Church, palm leaves were blessed at Worship Services on Palm Sunday and carried home by the faithful as a symbol of Christ's presence among them. Before Ash Wednesday, the blessed palm is burned and its residue is used in the distribution of ashes as a symbol of penance during Lent.

On Palm Sunday, March 28, 2010, Historic Trinity had the Procession and a Blessing of the Palms, in each of the three Worship Services. The Rev. Dr. David Eberhard preached and was assisted by the Cathedral Ministry Pastors. The Sunday School children, each carrying palms, led the Procession into the church at 9:30 a.m. Each person present at any of the three Worship Services received a blessed palm to take home.
