Her message reads:
“I congratulate Christians all over the world on the occasion of this year’s PALM SUNDAY. It marks the end of the 40-Day Lenten Period.
“It also marks the commemoration of our Savior Jesus Christ’s grand entry into Jerusalem, thus beginning the Holy Week, which culminated in his death, burial, resurrection, and ascension into heaven.
“People in their scores, dozens, and gross numbers welcomed him as he rode on a mule, laying their clothes and palm fronds, shouting “HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST.
“May the fasting that we observed this year and the subsequent prayers not go in vain in our lives in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
