Palm Sunday | 棕枝主日

点击查看中英对照

It was Palm Sunday. Due to a sore throat, five-year-old Johnny stayed home from church with a babysitter. When his family returned, they were carrying several palm branches. Johnny asked what they were for.

"People held them over Jesus' head as he walked by," came the explanation.

"Wouldn't you know it?" the boy fumed. "The one Sunday I don't go, He shows up!"
