St Dominic Church, Ashoknagar
The week culminates with Easter which the Christians celebrate as the day Jesus Christ had risen from the dead.
Churches all over Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts saw huge attendance of the faithful. They took out processions carrying palm fronds, a symbol of triumph.
Many display these palms in the form of a Cross at their homes as a mark of their faith.
As per the Gospels, Palm Sunday signifies the triumphant entry of Jesus Christ into the city of Jerusalem five days before his crucifixion.
Another two important days of the Holy Week are- Maundy Thursday, commemorating the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with his apostles, and Good Friday that marks the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death.
