Assam: Palm Sunday observed by all Christian Communities in West Karbi Anglong

OUR CORRESPONDENT

DONGKAMUKAM: Along with the rest of the world, “Palm Sunday”, the most significant day of the Christian community, was observed by all Christian communities in their respective churches in the district of West Karbi Anglong.

The day marks the beginning of holy week and commemorates Jesus Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem (Israel) riding on the back of a donkey, where he was welcomed by waving palm leaves and placing clothes on the ground. Christians believes it to be the time to reflect on the love, sacrifice and triumph of Jesus Christ as well as their own path to a more faithful and meaningful life.

At Mary Help of Christian Church, Satgaon Parish, Fr Albert Thyrniang, Parish Priest, was the main celebrant along with Fr Pradeep Ekka of Sojong Parish. The main theme was, “Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest” Matthew 21:9

Fr Albert, in his sermon, urged several hundreds of faithful present on Sunday at Mass to strengthen their belief more and more as Christ’s 2nd coming is near. He, referring to a chapter from Revelation in the Bible, said that disasters, such as natural calamities like cloudbursts, earthquakes, fighting against country neighbours, disputes, sickness, etc. will be seen. He finally asked for forgiveness for the enemies.
