Though I am surrounded by palms every day in Costa Rica, I smile as I think of my memories of children on Palm Sunday waving palm fronds during my years in The Gambia, as well as in the States and here in Costa Rica! And I rejoice with Christians everywhere on the remembrance of the triumphant entry of Jesus in Jerusalem before his crucifixion and long for His second coming as I believe his sadness for Jerusalem then would be many times more today.
They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna!” Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! ~John 12:13 NIV
¡Pura Vida!
Charlie, You have provided an exceptional reminder of the significance of the last days of Christ which ended with his crucifixion and resurrection. Your beautiful palm frond photographs help by reminding us this very meaningful week. Thank you.
🙂 Gracias.
