Why do churchgoers carry palm crosses? Why will there be processions through towns and cities this Sunday? Why will donkeys be seen in churches and cathedrals this week?

 

Our service for Palm Sunday comes from the Chapel at Church House, Westminster. The service is led by Rev Canon Chris Russell, and also marks the fourth anniversary of the Church of England's national online services.

Join us this Palm Sunday from St John's Goole in Diocese of Sheffield. Curate, Rev Joshua Blunt will be leading the service, and Rev Hannah Patton, Vicar, St John’s Goole will be preaching.

Worship and pray with us, in this full online church service for Palm Sunday. From St Paul's Church Scotforth in Lancaster, our online act of worship is led by Rev Dr Rebecca Aechtner, with a sermon from Rev Dr Anderson Jeremiah.

Christians are to be encouraged to make their own paper or card ‘palm’ crosses and display these in their windows in a national virtual church service for Palm Sunday to be broadcast by the Church of England.
