Filipino Catholics mark Palm Sunday with prayers for Pope Francis
The Straits Times
|April 03, 2023

-
At a church in Antipolo City, about 20km east of Manila, hundreds of devotees attended morning mass and waved palm fronds as a sign of discipleship and remembrance of Jesus Christ.
Once blessed, the palms are placed outside worshippers' homes in the belief that they will ward off evil spirits.
