Philippines Palm Sunday
People are waving palm fronds, known locally as 'palaspas,' while a lay minister is blessing them after a celebration of Palm Sunday at the Franciscan-run Minor Basilica of San Pedro Bautista in Quezon City, northeast of Manila, Philippines, on March 24, 2024. Known either as Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion or Passion Sunday, Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, a solemn period for Catholics and other Christian denominations observing it, leading to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on Good Friday and his resurrection on Easter Sunday.
