Today we are entering Holy Week. For us believers, this is the beginning of a holy time. Over the next few days, Jesus will reveal the depths of his love for us.
The blessing of the palms is like Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. The welcoming people then called him King and glorified God. Several days passed, and the same King accepted the passion and death for our sins.
On Palm Sunday, which begins Holy Week, palm trees, a symbol of Christ's victory over death, were consecrated in the Lichen basilica. After each Mass celebrated today, a fair of Christmas decorations was held in the porch of the main basilica. Pilgrims could buy palm trees and other Christmas decorations. The income from the sale will be allocated to terminally ill patients of the Hospice. st. Stanisław Papczyński in Licheń. Palm trees and Easter decorations were prepared by students of primary schools in Licheń and Wąsosze, as well as ladies from Rural Housewives' Clubs from Licheń and Kiev, and hospice volunteers.
