... a blessed day... :-)

'At Mass (liturgy) on Palm Sunday (Linggo ng Palaspás or Domingo de Ramos), Catholics carry palm fronds to be blessed by the priest. Many Filipinos bring them home after the Mass and place them above their front doors or windows, in the belief that doing so can ward off evil spirits and avert lightning. In some places, a procession is held, sometimes starting from an ermita/visita (Chapel of ease). Other parishes would have the priest bless palms in a plaza fronting or near the church.' - Wikipedia
