We embark on the Holy Week with Palm Sunday, as Jesus, who previously shunned public attention, now arrives, riding on a donkey. Acknowledged by the people as their king, they proclaimed, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord’ (Psalm 118.26).

“Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit” (John 12:25)
