Bishop Robert Brennan, Bishop of the Diocese of Brooklyn, marked the start of Holy Week this afternoon with a solemn Palm Sunday procession in Spanish beginning at Grand Army Plaza in the Prospect Heights section of Brooklyn. More than 200 people took part in the procession.
After an opening prayer and blessing, the faithful walked with palms blessed by Bishop Brennan down Vanderbilt Avenue to the Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph. Following the procession, Bishop Brennan celebrated the 1:30 p.m. Spanish Mass at the Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph.
Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus’ triumphant entrance into Jerusalem. Those who greeted Him waved palms and set them on the ground along His path. Palms are recognized as symbols of victory and peace.
