Chennai/Thiruvananthapuram/Kochi, Mar 25 (ANI): Christians across south Indian cities celebrated Palm Sunday on Sunday commemorating Jesus Christ’s entry into the city of Jerusalem before getting arrested and crucified. A large number of devotees participated in the procession holding palm fronds blessed by the priest before thronging the nearby churches and sang prayers. There is a tradition of singing ‘Hosana’ which literally meaning ‘O Lord! Save us!’ Christians believe Jesus rode into Jerusalem to the cheers of the crowd the week before Easter, when he rose from the dead, according to the legend. The poor wanted to follow him but in Palestine they had nothing but Palm leaves, which later became a symbol of following Jesus.
