Palm Sunday Syro-Malabar Style

It being the last Saturday of the month, the Syro Malabar community have their monthly Holy Qurbana (Mass) in the Syro Malabar Rite. The Mass included the traditional Palm Sunday procession with children singing 'Hosanna'.

The children prepare for the procession.

Clearly enjoying themselves...

As in the pre-1962 Latin rite Mass, the priest knocks three times on the church door.

The door is opened.

Mass continues with the Offertory.
