Celebrations have started with the blessings of the palm and olive branches at the foundations of the old church of Medjugorje then continued with procession towards the new St. James parish church.
There was so many people, specially Croatian pilgrims that I thought Emanuel and I will not be able to enter the church ground, but we did. However entering the church was just not possible, even to find a seat around the church was very difficult. I got lucky as one nice man decided to give his seat to a pregnant lady, me! Emanuel, on the other hand, had to stand all the way trough the mess.
The day was just perfect, so sunny and warm. I got some sun burns but I don't care. I just enjoyed the day so much. I love Palm Sunday as it is also my celebration of my own conversion here in Mejdugorje, so it is really a big feast for me.
As you know, Emanuel and I do not take photos during mass in Medjugorje church so
On www.medjugorje.hr there will be photos and text available within few days.
