Our churches, like all others, remain closed until Easter at least. As a result, we cannot join together to mark our Lord’s progress from his exalted arrival in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, through the despair Good Friday to the glorious resurrection on Easter Sunday.
One important symbol of this journey is the palm cross, which each of us normally receive, with a blessing on Palm Sunday. Canon Raymond Hodson (of the La Fustera congregation) has produced an easy to follow video, which shows just how simple it is for each of us to produce our own. Most of us have access to palm trees, but if you don’t you could produce yours from a tapered strip of paper. I am sure that wardens will circulate this information with their daily messages.
