Sunday March 25 was Palm Sunday, which is as notable as Easter Sunday.  On that day all the Catholics take a palm frond to church and then they wave it in the air after mass.  The priest then blesses the palm leaves.  These are some pictures we took yesterday.  There is a Catholic church that we drive past to get to our stake center and many of the people were holding a "palaspas" which is made from palm leaves.  They are cut and woven to make them interesting and then a flower is placed on them.  I think they're pretty so we bought a couple.  They were about 40 cents each.
