I think it’s because Palm/Passion Sunday is the beginning of the Passion (Holy Week) and Holy Thursday/Good Friday are not Holy Days of Obligation. Not sure so don’t go by me. My 15 yr old asked that today also. Both she and her older sister were in The Passion Play (put on and produced by the teen youth group) so it confused her also.
Someone here may know the correct reason.
Thank you both for your educated guesses. I’m pinging Mrs. Don-o - perhaps she can shed some light on this :-)
After Mass we had an Easter egg hunt for the children.
A few of us put out the eggs about an hour before Mass.
After Mass we gathered the children together and looking out of the field found that squirrels had been busy opening up the plastic eggs and eating the treats.
They got into at least two dozen of them.
