St. John’s in the Village led off its Holy
Week observances this Palm Sunday,
April 10, by the Blessing of the
Palms, a procession, and a beautiful Choral
Eucharist by its choir with the Singing of
the Passion.
As is their tradition on Palm Sunday, observers
in the West Village re-enacted the
entry of Jesus into Jerusalem with blessing
of palm branches and this year an alpaca
replaced the processional donkey as church
goers left St. John’s courtyard, accompanied
by a brass quartet, and circled the
block—W. 11th, W. 4th, Perry and Waverly.
A week of in-person and streamed online
observances culminate in Maundy Thursday,
Good Friday, and Easter Sunday observances.
