Photo of the Day: March 25, 2018A young girl attends Palm Sunday celebrations at the Cathedral of Managua. Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, and commemorates Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey, welcomed by crowds waving palm branches, before his arrest, trial, crucifixion and resurrection. It is traditionally marked by a procession and special Mass.
