Blessing of the Palms

The Sunday before Easter commemorates the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, between two wings of the crowd that stretched out on the ground to form a carpet cloaks and cheerfully waving palm and olive branches - abundant in the region - The made honor saying, "Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

Even in Diano Marina, as in many areas of Italy, with the tender parts of the large palm leaves, commonly "parmureli calls are intertwined decorated small and large packs."

At 10:45 in Freedom Square Martyrs the same, together with the olive branches of our hinterland, they are blessed by the priest.
