Palm Sunday, 2023

Palm Sunday services began like other pre-COVID Palm Sundays. The congregation assembled outside, and the priest read the passage from Matthew 21 that described Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem.

(Modern Bibles say Jesus rode on a donkey, but the King James version refers to an "ass." Language changes aren't always for the better.)

After the reading we walked back into the church, instead of marching around the block as in previous years.

Many of us didn't mind the abbreviated journey; knees, hips, and ankles aren't as strong and flexible as they were four years ago.
