Filipino Catholics mark Palm Sunday praying for Pope Francis' health

Thousands of Filipino Catholics attending church on Palm Sunday marked the beginning of Holy Week with prayers for the health of Pope Francis as they presented palm fronds to be blessed.

This important day in the Christian calendar signifies the start of Holy Week, leading up to Easter Sunday. It is a time for reflection, prayer, and remembrance of the events leading to Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. Filipino Catholics, like many around the world, gather in churches to commemorate Palm Sunday with special services and traditions.
