Croatian Palm Sunday tradition: Flowers, New Life Cvjetnica

Tomorrow is Palm Sunday 2020! 

🙏✝️💖

The beginning of Holy Week.    Along with going to Holy Mass, (this year via tv, internet...due to crisis of coronavirus pandemic), and getting either palm fronds or olive branches blessed On Palm Sunday, (Cvjetnica in Croatian), Cvijetna nedjelja (hr) , many Croatian Catholics also traditionally participate in the solemn triumphal entry of our Lord Jesus Christ into Jerusalem 
and the beginning of Holy Week, by washing their faces with flower petal water. Usually violets or other fragrant flowers and herbs. This also symbolizes Spring and new life.

Now is the Lent of viruses and of our sacrifices, prayer & fasting to overcome our sins and to change, 

Easter is the salvation of our hearts and souls in love and light through the sacrifice accepted by Jesus Christ, and his Resurrection.

Thank God! Halleluia.
