Together with some of our NDS Brothers and young Sisters who are currently doing the ConnecSion program here in Jerusalem, it was a very joyful and colorful Palm Sunday. We, the Brothers and Sisters, had our special T-shirt printed with “Notre Dame de Sion” and the logo of the Olive tree with the text “In Sion Firmata Sum” written in English and in Hebrew. We joined the Kehila group, the Hebrew speaking community just like we did last year. The procession was very alive with joyful music, instruments and songs animated by Br. Benny from Kehila community and Tiago. Even though there was a great number of people, we danced and sang together.

We had our Mass at the Kehila in the evening and then had pizza before going home. It was a wonderful day in Jerusalem!
