Priest in biretta...

...Processional Cross (swathed, because it is Passiontide), children with home-made streamers, everyone with palm crosses, mothers pushing prams and strollers, people singing hymns - although not necessarily the same verse at the same time! -  and all of this making a good-sized crowd....that's what you would have seen and heard if you were on the Southern end of London Bridge this Sunday morning. The parish of the Most Precious Blood was processing down the Borough High Street, honouring Palm Sunday in the traditional way.

We were reminded that such a procession is more than a mere "remembering" of the events of the first Palm Sunday. All of Holy Week  is about now, and not just about "then": this is all about the great reality of our salvation in Christ...
