Mothering Sunday, is a traditional holiday honouring mothers and mother figures. Originally, it was a 16th-century religious event where people visited their "mother church"—the main cathedral or parish of their area—offering a rare day off for domestic servants to reunite with families. Today we will have a fun celebration, reminding us all that we are can care for others as a mother cares for her children.

Palm Sunday is a day of palm fronds, and loud praises to Christ. With these practices, we mimic the crowds that went with Jesus on his way into Jerusalem. Like them, we celebrate Christ as the returning King, the son of David, and the long-awaited Messiah.

However, when we remember what Jesus went to Jerusalem to do, our celebration becomes more somber. He rode in on a donkey to show his humility, and in humility he soon would rise on a cross. and we also realise, as we play the part of the Jerusalem crowd, just how horribly easy it is to shift from singing “Hosanna” to shouting “Crucify!”
