                Palm Sunday


The day marks Jesus' monumental arrival in Jerusalem, the start of the march to his death on a wooden cross. It's also known as Passion Sunday in honor his suffering and death before his resurrection.
This week Vatican announced that Pope Francis 'liturgical celebrations will take place from 
Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, in front of empty pews in St. Peter's Basilica. 


Papal Mass on Sunday used to draw thousands of pilgrims 
from all over the world to the sprawling Vatican square. 


St. Peter's Square is eerily 
empty of pilgrims and tourists.
The coronavirus health crisis has forced faith leaders to come up with new ways to observe the holy day -- from streaming video and audio to palms dipped in bleach to volunteers in protective garb handing out sanitized palms to passing cars.

Last month, a pastor at a Louisiana church was charged for continuing to hold services, defying a local bans on gatherings of 50 or more people. And in Florida, an evangelical pastor was arrested for holding large services at Tampa megachurch.
Like sports leagues, museums and other cultural institutions, millions of churches and mosques, synagogues and sanghas, temples and gurdwaras are temporarily closing to guard against spreading the virus.
