Palm Sunday: Faithful mark feast with procession in Lagos

Catholic Faithful in Lagos on Sunday joined others across the world to mark the Palm Sunday with procession, and fanfare, to rekindle faith in God.

The feast, which is a symbolic reflection of Jesus Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem, marks the beginning of the Holy Week in anticipation of Easter, which marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The feast, an important one in the celebrations of the church, reminds the faithful of the majesty of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the confidence of the faithful in the sonship of Jesus Christ.

At the St. Thomas Aquinas Church, Okokomaiko, the faithful began the feast with a procession, Mass, and street evangelism to draw people to Jesus Christ.

The members all marched in jubilation within the area to register God’s presence in the place, while some used the medium to reach out to people to turn to Jesus Christ and heed the good news of salvation.

It was a spectacular scene at the Saints Peter and Paul, Tedi, Ojo Lagos parish, where the priest in charge, Rev. Fr. Anthony Thompson, asked the faithful to physically present a written petition to God to heal the nation.

The followers, professing Jesus Christ as King of Kings approached the altar with their petitions.

The event, which aroused public interest in the environs also had faithful display varying attractive crafts made of Palm fronts to signify the day.

Speaking during the homily (sermon), Thompson said that before Jesus was crowned King, He showed perseverance and good character.

“It is expected of us to toe the line of Christ, for us to make it as a people and a nation.

“The decorations in the church with the palm fronts are a sign of victory, therefore our hope in the nation need not be dampened.

“The anxieties of today will not last but have come to an abrupt end with the triumph of our Lord today,” he said. (NAN)
