In many European countries, it is a tradition to have a basket of food blessed on Holy Saturday or Easter Sunday. The food items in the Easter basket, as well as at the Easter Sunday breakfast where the blessed food is eaten, have special significance.

Palm Sunday is the final Sunday of Lent, the beginning of Holy Week, and commemorates the triumphant arrival of Christ in Jerusalem, days before he was crucified. Masses with PALM BLESSING: Saturday 5.30pm, Sunday 7.30am, 9am, 10.30am, 12 noon, 7.30Pm
