Palm Sunday Parade

We left Tantur about 1:00 p.m. and arrived near Bethphage where the procession began. It started about 2:30 p.m. with the palm procession liturgy. I think people sang the entire two hour walk! We ended up in Old Jerusalem. Along the way, songs could be heard in many languages. Some were playing instruments. There were thousands in the procession! Sometimes the road was wide and other times quite narrow. And lots of people were watching from their homes.
