Today, Sunday, March 24, marks the celebration of Palm Sunday, the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem. It is a day of procession in which the faithful carry branches of palm leaves as a re-enactment of the biblical story in which the crowd greeted Jesus by waving palm branches and covering his path with palm branches. This triumphant entry of Jesus soon marked the beginning of his journey to the cross where he was eventually crucified.

Pope Benedict XVI called on the Church and its faithful on Sunday to “renew themselves” as tens of thousands of pilgrims and tourists attended his penultimate Angelus prayers.

It is expected that on Thursday, Feb.28, 2013, Pope Benedict XVI will become the first Pope in almost 600years to resign. The announcement came as a shock to the Catholic faithful.

One resigned to get married, another was made to step down for bribing his way through; a third left office under very queer circumstances while the fourth Pope to resign did it in the interest of resolving a creeping interference from kings.
