That alone signifies that this pandemic is real, and we need to take heed of calls coming from the government to stay at home. > With COVID-19, we were unable to participate and follow the proceedings that we normally do as churches. Christians celebrate Palm Sunday by holding street processions, usually close to their places of worship while holding palm leaves and branches. The Palm Sunday festival is held at the beginning of the ‘Holy Week’ in commemoration of Jesus Christ’s Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem, a week before he was crucified by the Roman government. In 1349, a global pandemic which wiped out between 75 and 200 million people off the face of the planet forced the temporary closure of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem and Christians could not celebrate Palm Sunday. *More: NewZimbabwe.com* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
