Celebrating Palm Sunday at Home

To help us mark Palm Sunday at home there is a great idea going round social media. In Mathew's Gospel, as Jesus enters Jerusalem, it says that the crowd "cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road." Traditionally we have used palms to commemorate this event, but as we can see in the gospel, we can use any branches. So why not decorate your front door or the window of your living room with a freshly cut branch? It could be decorated in some way with purple ribbon for example. Alternatively, children could make palms out of paper, or they could draw pictures of Jesus entering Jerusalem and these could be displayed in your window. Then you could take photos and share them on the parish facebook page perhaps?
