What does the Priest do on Palm Sunday?

On Palm Sunday, the Priest leads the congregation in a special liturgy that begins with the blessing of palm branches, commemorating Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. The Priest may then process through the church, with the congregation waving palms and singing hymns. Following this, the Priest typically reads the Passion narrative, recounting the events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion, marking the beginning of Holy Week in the Christian liturgical calendar.
