Christians to observe

Palm Sunday today

ISLAMABAD: The Christian community, like elsewhere in the world, will observe the Palm Sunday on April 16, marking the start of the Holy Week which ends with the festival of Easter on April 23.

The week from 'Palm Sunday' to Easter Sunday is known as holy week, church services remind one of the last days of Christ's life on earth.

'Palm Sunday' marks Christ entry into Jerusalem while 'Holy Thursday' marks the 'Last Supper', Good Friday marks Christ's crucifixion, and Easter Sunday is resurrection.'

Special services will be held in all churches throughout the country on the occasion.ÑAPP
