We escaped the forecast rain for our Palm Sunday procession this morning complete with our own home made palm crosses. The service began as is traditional in Houghton in Rectory Park where the palm crosses were blessed and then we were accompanied by a band as we processed into church.

Sometimes they strew His way,
And His sweet praises sing;
Resounding all the day
Hosannas to their King:
Then “Crucify!”
is all their breath,
And for His death
they thirst and cry.

Here are some images from the workshop to make the palm crosses and the procession held today marking the beginning of Holy Week. View more pictures on Facebook here.
