Palm Sunday in Zakynthos…. Time for reflection (video)

Palm Sunday for Orthodox Christians and in other parts of the world it’s Easter Sunday.

A completely different Holy Week across the world one could say, due to the deadly virus that plagues our world.

A historical moment was lived today in Zakynthos where the celebration of Palm Sunday was held behind closed doors.

A video taken from home of the Palm Sunday service at our Holy church of Saint Dionysios, sends a message of hope. Our traditions will continue and our beliefs will be practised. The spirit of Easter will be spoken of.

On the heels of Palm Sunday, as we begin this Holy Week, may we constantly be reminded of its significance and value for our lives today. That very important day in history, when Jesus began His journey towards the cross. He knew of the suffering that came ahead. The gift of His sacrifice however, would be a day of celebration for centuries to come. The power of the Resurrection, gives meaning to all across the world, even more so today than ever before.  

We have so much to be grateful for this week. The enemy knows that, and you can bet, our enemy is going to do everything possible to try and distract us away from the true meaning of what this Holy Week means. Don’t let it!

Behind closed doors the holy week has began. Our churches closed to believers, but don’t let that fool you. The light within those walls burns even brighter this year and is growing stronger. A sense of unity fills the air, even though we have been separated and made to stay home. Somehow the people are spreading the word, Xristos Anesti with joy in their hearts.
