Palm Sunday | 棕枝主日

English Original

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!"


中文翻译

那天是棕枝主日。五岁的约翰尼因为喉咙痛,和保姆一起待在家里,没有去教堂。当他的家人回来时,手里拿着几根棕榈枝。约翰尼问这些是做什么用的。

"当耶稣走过时,人们把它们举在耶稣的头上,"家人解释道。

"真是的!"男孩气呼呼地说。"就这个星期天我没去,他偏偏就来了!"
