11:58, 01.04.2018
Georgian Orthodox Church marks Palm Sunday – Glorious Entry of Jesus to Jerusalem – today. Catholicos Patriarch of all Georgia, his Holiness and Beatitude, Ilia II will hold a Divine Liturgy at Sameba (Holy Trinity) Cathedral.
After the liturgy, Ilia II will preach traditionally, and then bless branches of palm trees. Palm Sunday is a Christian moveable feast which always falls on the Sunday before Easter Sunday.
The feast commemorates the event mentioned by all four Canonical Gospels – the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem in the days before his Passion.
