I am sending these photos of Holy Week and
Easter in Bombard (Semen Sen ak Pak).
Just wanted to share this event
from Holy Week.
On the Saturday afternoon
before Palm Sunday, one of the young men came running to
say Robert is going up.
So I went to see what
that meant.
Robert is about 65 years
old; one of his jobs is cutting palm branches off the
trees for house roofs---or for the Catholics on Palm
Sunday.
He has a special rope harness that
he uses to walk up the tree.
Then he cuts off the
branches with his machete. It takes him about 15
minutes. Cost about $2 US----for all you
Tucson
residents who pay a bit more for this service.
Then the palms were used
for the procession before the Palm Sunday Mass.
Pere Cholet and the procession
for Palm Sunday (Dimanche de Ramo).
The Easter candle in the
church.
Pere Cholet and the
seminarians

and 2 visitors from
Spain.
