Our Sunday School students prepared “Tokens of Honor for our King”. This is a tradition in our culture which will be practiced by our Orthodox children and their families as a life-long custom to “Honor our King” on Palm Sunday. Our children were excited and eager to learn the procedures of making Palm Crosses by the older children teaching the younger ones in addition to the guidance of our dedicated Sunday School teachers. After being blessed during our Palm Sunday Divine Liturgy, Father George will present each child with his/her personalized Palm Cross to be taken home as a daily remembrance of Our Savior, Jesus Christ.
